i love music
i'd tell more, i love experimental music www.microsound.org www.ritornell.net www.12k.com etc etc also i love neo folk like www.deathinjune.net and i love dark ambient like www.lustmord.com, nordvargr, raan, etc i love noise music like NON, Navicon torture Technology, Bad Sector, hmmm , eh, etc etc etc. anyway, music rocks, i love music, etc etc etc ah btw, if u interested, here is my super nice list of my favorite musik! http://www.planetquake.com/vondur/files/cdcat.html music rocks!!!!11!!! Von that is a ridiculously large collection of almost entirely weird stuff!
I notice you are somewhat lacking in the Bolt Thrower department, sigh. Now stop taking the piss out of my threads and go do something productive... i like quite a bit of stuff...
Headstones, Cradle of Filth, Filter, Dimmu Borgir, Garmarna, Steppenwolf, Rolling Stones, Tea Party... etc... i agree with ya, Vondur: music rocks!!!!!!1111 :) I need to know what music to get.
Bah, it's not like any of the cds mentioned here are going to be available for me to buy anyway... in no particular order
http://www.adnoiseam.net http://www.hushush.com http://www.subconsciousstudios.com/ http://www.componentrecords.com/ http://www.boomkat.com/front.cfm http://www.n5md.com/ http://metropolis-records.com http://www.tigerbeat6.com/ that should get your started :) in no particular order

that was UNintentional repetition... my apologies i have been listening to lately:
indie-ish prog/math rock: dyhsrhythmia don caballero oxes (weirder instrumental rock stuff) mercury program (mellow jazz-inspired stuff) Particularly Getaway and their recent two-disk Anthology.
At the moment I've got Happy Boy by the <a http://sdam.com/artists/bf/>Beat Farmers</a> stuck in my head for some reason, dammit. Getaway and Anthology are by The Clean, find out more through http://www.flyingnun.co.nz .
And that Beat Farmers page is http://sdam.com/artists/bf/ . Obviously this board doesn't support Qmap-style links. ok, filter out the cheesy tiesto stuff and there's some good tech trance (if they still have 3 monkeys - crazy). btw,they're ripped but you're ok if you then buy the vinyl on www.htfr.com
btw, i listen to a lot of jazz and rock. a good cd...hmmm... global communication (the album has no name, it's just...global comm. tom middleton and another guy for anyone who knows jedi and/or cosmos) they are weird.
The Way (Secret Ingredients mix) is a rocking deep house/ tech house tune. whereas their albums are mellow ambient stuff! tweaker - www.tweaker.net
chris vrenna, did the music to Alice, although this stuff is of a very diff mood, but still good just my little donation there Surprisingly enough I still listen to Drum'n'Bass =). Bought a few things in the last week:
)E|3( - Shot Down On Safari - hmmm quite cheesy DnB anthems, feels like BC are losing their bite despite a few good tracks. Great inlay tho! Klute - Lie, Cheat & Steal - haven't listened yet but from what I heard in the shop it sounded great, deep, trancy, DnB. Various - The Four Elements - Renegade Hardware comp, returning to form after some weaker comps. Very good dark techish DnB for the first half but gets a bit tedious later on. I've also been listening to Loftgroover presents Speedcore (mighty hard gabber), Contaminated Vol3 (rabid deathmetal) and LSG (forget which album, nice trippy trance). On the subject of music can anyone recommend me some good recent thrash/death metal?? Something heavy, bassy and methodical, not all rabid and chopped up... I used to like Bolt Throwever, Entombed, Baphomet, earlier Pantera, Ministry etc if it helps... I have narrowed my search down to a few ideas
Arch Enemy - Wages Of Sin Benediction - Grind Bastard Beserker - Dissolution Bolt Thrower - Honour Valour Pride Impaled Nazarene - Abscence Of War Mortician - Darkest Day Of Horror Suffocation - Despise The Sun It seems what I am after is perhaps more grindcore than deathmetal. Any comments on the artists listed or any other ideas?? I havent heard that one... I enjoyed Black Seeds of Vengeance, and Amongst the Catacombs of the Nephren Ka was okay, not as good as BSofV in my opinion, but track 5 Ramses Bringer of War is nice in that the opening is reminiscent of the war ships in Mario3 =)
How does In Their Darkened Shrines compare to BSoV and Nephren Ka ? I haven't heard the entirety of either of their two previous albumns, but it is my understanding that in terms of overall style, ITDS is much more furious and intense.
Other recommendations Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh Hate Eternal - King of all Kings God Dethroned - Ravenous i like the good ol normal metal. with at least some melody and music involved.
mind you, i am guilty of making dance music with rather little melody and a lot of beats... anyone a fan of megadeth? i was crazy megadeth fanatic back in 88-90
"so far, so good, so what..." was and is my fave megadeth cd! :) their later stuff didn't impress me much since i switched to more brutal things like black metal, etc... Thanks for the suggestion of Nile, I've heard several tracks on John Peel but they didn't quite grab me, I respect what they do but....I'm not so sure about the archaic vibe.
Anyway today I got Arch Enemy and Bezerker. Not listened to them all but so far: AE - good strong melodies and pace, but lacking bass, also growly vocals don't go so well with melodic leads. Bezerker - haphazard and mindless noise, little rhythm and the guitars get lost in all the sloppy beats. Von: Naaaa,I'd rather have something a bit more....less nu-metal. Anything else you can think of?? well, i can only recommend my current favourite metal bands: type o negative, fear factory, cathedral, my dying bride. these, plus some black metal bands are ones i only listen to these days.
btw, there will be new type o album released june 16th :) can't wait for it. I've not heard of nearly any of the bands you mention.
Recently I've bought: Cold: 13 Ways to Bleed On Stage Frank Sinatra: 2 Cd collection Taproot: Welcome Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral Lennon Murphy: 5:30 Saturday Morning Primus: Pork Soda Korn: Life Is Peachy Satyricon - Volcano
Enslaved - Frost These two bands are more black metal than death metal, but still definetly worth your time. volcano sucks, this is their worst cd, it's better to get their old stuff like 'the shadowthrone'
But not into black really. I appreciate but not my style, I prefer something crunchier, bassier, maybe more industrial.
Will think about FF... Although i do believe the Shadowthrone is their finest acheivement, Volcano is the closest they've come to a more tradiotional sounding metal, so i thought it would be more interesting to someone not attenuated to black metal.

Thanks to Vondur for posting those dark ambient links as well, I need more of that stuff. If you haven't already, try Thomas Koner and Yen Pox. Both rather minimal (the former especially so), but probably worth a listen.
biosphere isn't dark ambient, it's just ambient.
it's ice ambient i'd say, there is no dark side in that project. :) as for the thomas koner and yen pox, they are classic, add there troum yet, the same dark tasty drones... Concord Dawn, Shapeshifter & PMoney. That's about it as far as I'm concerned. Okay, Salmonella Dub are good if you like that sort of thing and 8' Sativa well the music's good but the attitude is tedious.
P.S. Sorry Von I don't really know much about ambient. The record shop dude called Biosphere "drone and tone" which sounded cool =) On a related note:
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/petition-sign.cgi?soad1111 (It's true you know, they do sound like pirates) right now i am listening to Funkstorung - Appetite for Disctruction... but its a 45 and i'm listening on 33. it sounds cooler that way, you can hear the detailed crunchiness.
DnB: Klute - Lie, Cheat and Steal, as shambler said, is t3h r0x0r.

You know, the kind that makes you want to stab yourself in the face, tear off ears and jump into the bottomless pit.
Is it healthy to be listen to They're Coming to Take Me Away by Lard, over and over again?
The worms in my brain are complaining, you see. Got a good trump song to drive it out? Dead can dance isn't dark at all.
I've listened to them a fair amount, if we're thinking the same group then they're more of a light folk/world/ambient act. gothic/punk/industrial in the 1970s: Joy Division (influential on such diverse 90's acts as Nirvana, Radiohead and NIN) try skinny puppy: they're very dark and eccentric. however, they might be a bit too weird for anyone who isn't fully into industrial music. I m not agree with you , this is note suicide-music !
Listen "how to fortunate the man with none" I love this requiem ...if you want some really nice chillout/ambient (sorry vondur not dark and evile) then I can heartily recommend:
Tipper - Surrounded (Myutopia) Not breaks as his usually stuff is, just very nice mellow downtempo stuff. And other music ideas... Killjoy: Hellfish....eh. Used to be a big man in the later era of the gabber scene here in the UK, sometime partner of the mighty DJ Producer and owner (I think) of Deathchant records. Tried a recent CD of his and it is some weird shit. Vondur: Thanks to the Russian I now have some proper dark ambient - R|A|A|N - The Nacrasti (Malignant Antibody), very good dark droning. Fatty: I had the Lard album with that on LOL. Didn't Lard end up vaguely related to Ministry or something?? I remember lyrics about pulling out ones teeth as the goverment were hiding data transmitters in your fillings... Maybe Jello Biafra played with 'em once, but I do recall an interview which said that the "lyrics" for Jesus Built My Hotrod were done by Gibbie Hayes from the Butthole Surfers. And I know that said "Gibbying" is exactly the same as in "Some Dispute Over T-Shirt Sales" off Independent Worm Saloon.
Some nice chillout rhythms and bleeps and bits there.
But perhaps a bit too groovy and not evile enough for D3....ask Vondur, he will advise on such areas. I agree that someone like this could do a very good soundtrack if requested. After all it's definitely a good genre and combination of sounds.
not a single ppls mentioned rap
thing with hiphop and rap is that if you search underground stuff there is much more quality than other genres. at least for me. but if you like idm/ambient techno type stuff like boards of canada, then you should check out: prefuse 73 anti-pop consortium - Arrhythmia zion i cannibal ox jedi mind tricks deep puddle dynamics clouddead ...me seeing the matrix films recently, two matrix themed tracks, both kick some serious arse:
)E|B( - Bullet Time http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/player/audio.asp?ID=6745 Hive - Neo http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/player/audio.asp?ID=6495 The latter was actually commissioned for Reloaded but not used which to be honest is a crime against humanity, this would have pissed all over the tired RATM nonsense at the end. ...my ears switched off then...
BOOM! sham - hive had a cd out in the 97 or so called devious methods. it's pretty good, but not neo-quality. also there was an ep a couple years ago.
UFO! had an artist album out last year called 'the future is listening'. PS: i saw hive and ufo live a couple weeks ago. they both live around the sf bay area, and violence recordings (hive's label) now has a monthly gig. AMON AMARTH ownz your soulz!!!
Amon Amarth - Death In Fire Amon Amarth - A Fury Divine Amon Amarth - Victorious March Amon Amarth - any-freaking-song Bolt Thrower - No Guts, No Glory Kataklysm - Beyond Salvation Bloodbath - So You Die Fleshcrawl - Beneath a Dying Sun Ancient Existence - Vengeance Cattle Decapitation - Chunk Blower (or Testicular Manslaughter) Hertroertzen - Darkening Vondur - Kill Everyone Broken Hope - Pitbull Grin All Shall Perish - Laid To Rest Callenish Circle - Soul Messiah Dark Funeral - Dead Skin Mask Immortal - Damned In Black Lord Belial - Massacre Morbid Angel - He Who Sleeps Naglfar - Blades Nile - Unas Slayer of the Gods Thy Disease - Impure Lust Vulgar Degenerate - Accident of Life The Other Dimension - Banished From Heaven Bloodfeast - Bloodfeast Heheheh Novembers Doom - Shadows of Light I know Vondur will roll his eyes at this, but I checked out that Amon Amarth track you linked in #tf the other night, and I haven't been that impressed with death metal for quite a long time. Thus I have ordered the latest album (but the samples on the site made the older albums seem pretty appealing too).
I would also "big up" Bolt Thrower's "No Guts No Glory" as well, the best on Mercenary IMO. Do you have an other recommendations for heavy, epic, seriously groovy riff-orientated DM?? I much prefer that to the rabid stuff or choppy experimental side. Anyway, today I have mostly been listening to: Inade - Crackling Of The Anonymous. Amon Amarth's one of those rare bands who are simply incapable of making a song that doesn't rock :) There isn't a single tune they have that I don't like.
You visited the site, Shamb? You saw the other songs linked here, right: http://www.amonamarth.com/mp3s.html You'll find some more, here: http://www.metal-glory.de/index.php?bereich=4&inhalt=1&buch=A ---- For death metal in general, though I've got zillions of links, you might test drive some of the ones here: http://www.geocities.com/darkness_chatroom/music.html and here: http://www.metalblade.de/mp3files.html Careful which ones you choose. Some of these are OLD and not all "death metal" there :D Now I know there's plenty people here who get off on the Cookie Monster singing against a wall of speedy guitar-scale-showoff-brutal-bass-drumming death metal, so, here ya go:
http://www.reptilianrecords.com/reptilian/hatebeek.html Oh, the lead singer is a parrot. Yes. A parrot. Playing Quake without a real good Satanic Black Death Metal music in background is an heresy (just for the ambiance..)... try some bands from http://www.blackmetal.com/
PS: parrot sucks, they don't have any guts... no more beyond-tomb voice... playing with loud music, unless it's deathmatch.. when I played bots in q2/q1 I'd play assortment of Coal Chamber, Deadlights, Mudvayne..
Loud music doesn't mean use of maximum volume... I'd prefer to have music in background, in order to be able to hear what happens in the game... it's usefull sometimes..;).... The music is just here to create an ambiance, not to cover the game sound effects...
Anyway, just don't believe I'm just able to listen Death Metal... sometimes I also listen some cool music (Cold Play, The Police, Texas, U2, Goldfrapp, etc.. etc.. ) and techno as well (Prodigy, Carl Cox, etc.. etc..)... I just say that Satanic Black Death Metal is the better music to find "killing inspiration" during the game.. and it works with any FPS game !!! So try Disney Music store... it will be more coherent, less growling, and with slowest guitars... (joke)..
Yes, I admit it's "sometimes" (not to say all the time) hard to understand (without explicit lyrics support) what is "song"... eerrrr... your likes are certainly more.. "aggressive" regarding your cool web site ;) your likes are certainly more.. "aggressive" regarding your cool web site ;)
I would like to say LESS aggressive... I apologize for this big mistake... .. is a nice sport I practiced a lot when I used to play Unreal Tournament in 2001... With the precision rifle, it was really cool to hide, and kill other players with head-shots...
Can someone recommend some really good hard tech/trance (not Hard House) - i've been out of the music scene for so long, I don't really know where to start looking...
hell is the difference between house/trance/techno anyway?
If I had a few good examples, but I always lump all that repetetive stuff into one ball. is rather intelligible from one another.
Cure = Korn? Nope. Radiohead = Stone Temple Pilots? Nope. Matchbox 20 = Blink 182? Nope. I could write out some long explanation, but it wouldn't be nearly as good as what this guy wrote: http://www.ishkur.com/features/music/#
If anyone is interested, I need some honest crits on the demos I've done. If you see potential or think they straight out suck, let me know. They took about 6 months and I wrapped them up months ago. The "ante" stuff in the folder was for that Q1 mod I'd uh.. started, and the rest were just demos that I could've always spent alot more time on, but if I was gonna do that I'd of started my CD at that time. They were moreso ideas of where I might've wanted to go.
- http://www.thecarbonflaw.com/music/ (for some MP3's not at the next URL) - http://www.soundclick.com/thecarbonflaw/ Thanks. But here it is again, if so:
http://www.epitonic.com/ Free mp3s in all kinds of genres -- not much of that vapid pop faggotry, tho. It's pointless, boring, annoying, and basically the equivalent of watching paint dry. It does nothing, says nothing, creates nothing -- it's worse than a campaigning politician who is facing a landslide -- it smacks of desperation, futility and ultimate forgetability. It is shit.
yes you fric & blitz
I'm sure you're aware that most pop music has compressed waveforms in order to make them sound "better" over as many forms of media as possible (especially shitty radio & tv speakers) thus making pop music and even more effective advertising tool than originally planned. Doesn't do anything except make the the sound in question louder without actually raising the volume. While I don't know the physics behind it, I know that's what it does.
"Most pop music" is mixed at the same level as any other kind of music or else it would sound like a blaring TV ad (which utilizes compression by making the ad louder without actually making your volume louder.) Since the biggest pop stars have the best budgets, obviously they have the most experienced engineers, who wouldn't let the album go out sounding anything but perfect. We already had an exhaustive conversation about "pop" music and what it entails and all I can say is that you should never dismiss any kind of music -- all music has something to say. I agree that the Britney Spears and commercial hip hop/rap type crap has got to go -- simply because I can't respect the type of people who put out music solely to make money and gain fame. Good pop music is the type where the artist's intention is to say something and make art for art's sake. Not every person in the world wants to listen to Plastikman or Whitehouse and they take their musical art in small, lyrically adept, somewhat poetic doses. is #1 right now in our store...
c'mon after 10 years you gotta give the dude some credit! This person (guy/girl?) plays the SMB theme on guitar but with the coin noise on harmonics and other stuff.. looks like they forgot the fireworks though
http://media.ebaumsworld.com/marioguitar.wmv So I thought I'd get some MIDI files online and play them in my Fantom to see how they sound. Some are interesting some are "what the?".. I was impressed with how "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana sounded with the drums and guitars... of course it could be better - I'm not sure who composed the MIDI, and it wasn't explicitly made for the FS, but here it is:
http://www.phait-accompli.com/crap/fs_nirvana.mp3 and some more Tool - Stinkfist http://www.phait-accompli.com/crap/fs_stinkfist.mp3 NIN - The Becoming http://www.phait-accompli.com/crap/fs_becoming.mp3 Cost me $1500 (originally $2k), but there's an updated version called the Fantom-X for around $2000. I'm gonna dig around for some other potential songs.. any "requests"?
Still -- you should be using the Fantom to make your own electronica-style stuff :D
Nice though. I'm not really into Electronica... although I like Bjork, but alot of that stuffs been done already. I've been using it lately to conceptualise and experiment for the CD I want to release, but it can get frustrating so I've been taking a layed back stance on it and just messing around. Doing that I've found things getting less frustrating and alot more melodies and such start to come, especially on guitar.
Well it was about time.. occured to me today to load in some DooM midis!
http://www.phait-accompli.com/crap/fs_doom.mp3 3.7 MB - a compilation of 9 songs. Again, some things aren't going to sound the best because the midis' used GM patches, and those aren't the most realistic, but I didn't want to change anything.. although I did change some drums to ones with a bit more release, they just sound better. you may want to check an interview I did with Mathias Grassow, of Nostalgia. He is from Germany, perhaps some here have heard of him. There is a link to clips from the first Nostalgia album and his website.
http://written.phait-accompli.com/interviews/mathias.php The Prodigy launched a brand new album called Always outnumbered, never outgunned .. Is there someone who bought it ?? And what about the album ?? Is it great or not ??
If I had say hypothetically downloaded it, it wouldn't have been worth the hypothetical effort. That's hyopthetical mind you.
... I don't want to download it, I would like to have informations (what do you think about the album for example...) before taking a decision of buying or not the album, not more...
I bought the CD this afternoon, and it's the third time I'm listening it... I've just one thing to say: WOAOW !!! If you like techno house rock punk metal fusion, it's realy impressive... Their last album "The Fat of The Land" was already a good one, but now, it's like if the 12 tiltles were done like if it was a big remix with "FireStarter" and "Smack my bitch up"... It's really a fucking album !!! To listen as loud as you can !!!
I don't like techno house rock punk metal fusion I only listen to techno jazz rock punk metal fusion.
In case anyone hasn't mentioned Bond, they're what I'm listening to right now. Standard-seeming techno/classical, but just strings from what I can tell. More pop than anything, definitely not for those who consider themselves 'hard' or whatever, but good imo.
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand Or so I have read My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom, big bottom Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day You know what I mean I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day You know what I mean My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah Big bottom, big bottom Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? the legend that is Spinal Tap. It's worth getting the movie or the cd, but otherwise you can find the songs on filesharing apps pretty easily.
On a related note, I achieved a near-religious experience recently by playing the Spinal Tap song Stonehenge on my iPod while looking at Stonehenge itself! Stonehenge, where the demons dwell, where the banshees live, and they do live well. I browsed around on FYE.com and came across some interesting bands:
- Mira (interesting guitar work, nice female singer) http://www.mira.nu/ - Black Tape For A Blue Girl (strings, choir like vocals) http://www.blacktapeforabluegirl.com/ - Attrition (synth-beat stuff) http://www.projekt.com/projekt/artist.asp?id=1000 I'm glad I found these few, I like the music and you know, it's not on the radio and it's not on MTV and it's better than what's out there. Go hunt for music that needs to be heard! I wish they'd hurry up and release their new album already.
If you liked them, you might like Halou (more synth-ish); maybe Cranes circa Loved; perhaps The Plague Monkeys (underrated unfortunately now defunct); and, of course, the Cocteau Twins (...indescribable). Was messing around with a Commodore 64 emulator last night and found a pretty cool sound program for it. I was jamming around and I then remembered that my sound card has output recording. So I made this little, crazy sounding live session. There ended up being like a grinding in the background -- but I liked how it sounded and left it in :D
If there's anything you want to take from it, chop it up and use it as you wish. There's some noisy/industrial stuff going on at points, so feel free! http://home.comcast.net/~teh_blitz/Blitz_09_30_live_C64emu.mp3 I've been listening too
The Killers - Saw em in Chicago and had a great time. Have tickets to Detriot show in a week and a half. Check em out, great 80s new-wavish alt rock dancy stuff Ambulance Ltd - Opened for Killers, didn't know them at the time. Pretty much love em as much as Killers now. Very emo/indie ish, but very listenable and fun. Check em out. Scissor Sisters - Just gotten into them, Elton John like rock/piano stuff. Takes a bit to grow on ya, but then you can't get em out of your head. Polyphonic Spree - Besides the fact they are a cult, no matter what their crazy Jesus like singer says, they are just so fun to listen to. I mean the lyrics are rediculous but some how I feel pure 70s/Brady Family like elation. Zero 7 - Good relaxation music, good stuff to wake up to. If you get into a mapping grove this seems to keep you into it cause it just pulls you along and doesn't distract you from your mapping. Thats about it for now. is where it's at... I partied with him last night and he's even sexier in person than in his videos. Since then I've been playing Easy Pass at full volume and feeling funky.
I've been getting alot of good feedback (including someone saying "it sounds like Martin Galway meets Suicide meets Olivier Messiaen) about this one on some other channels and messageboards so for those of you who haven't heard this, check it out.
I made it a few weeks ago just to test out some sounds on a C64 emulator (note: this track is different from the one in #148) Enjoy http://home.comcast.net/~teh_blitz/blitz/Blitz_09_30_live_C64emu.mp3 ...played that track you DCC'd a while ago on the radio show (theme was Integrity and Music). Well received by the dudes in the studio and no one fell offline while it was playing. The ex-drummer from 28 Days (now tech-percussionist with K-Oscillate dug it a lot.

Solar Genius by Stef is awesome! 25/26th October 2004: John Peel, veteran radio DJ and legendary music afficiando, died from a heart attack whilst on a working holiday in Peru, aged 65.
He had been working in broadcasting for over 40 years, and presenting an extremely highly-regarded show on Radio1 for over 30 years. During this time he championed all genres of music from the mildest and most accessible to the most esoteric and extreme. He brought a huge number of influential bands to the British public's attention including New Order, The Smiths, The Fall, Pulp, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and many others, and in recent decades became one of the earliest promoters of electronic music on national radio. He also presented a listener-orientated show called Home Truths on Radio4, and as well as his unparalleled love of music, his warm, intelligent, and "fatherly" nature stood out in an era of brash, arrogant presenters falling over themselves to be cool. No-one who heard his show could underestimate just how good it was as a genuine and true music show. I've been a fan of Peely for many years, from when I was into metal and he introduced me to the delights of Carcass and Bolt Thrower as well as many good indie bands, to when I got into dance music and ended up recording no less than 26 cassettes absolutely packed with brilliant drum'n'bass and techno he played. At any time I always appreciated his open-minded and ultra-broad music tastes. I met him when I won a place at a live Lab4 set played on his show, and he was a genuinely nice and witty guy. Unfortunately I'd lapsed from listening to his show in the last couple of years....and now I no longer can. RIP to a true music legend. I have a great amount of respect for Peely and all he achieved, and I was really quite upset when I heard the news.
You really can't overestimate the amount he single-handedly affected the music scene; just looking at the tributes that bands and artists have been sending in shows how much he and his shows were respected and loved. RIP indeed, I really will miss his show I have very fond memories of the Peel Sessions.
Gonna check it out now...I finished that tune you wanted for your next show...
http://blitz.circa1984.com/Blitz%20-%20Soul%20of%20a%20Parasite%20(In%20Memory%20of%20Vlad).mp3 Enjoy. ...I'll run that under the third leg of the discussion. That way it definitely won't be edited out of the archived show.
...I asked Simon not to cut it. Bleh! Heads will roll.
Was the reference to it in there at least? No, no reference either. If it's not too much trouble, is there anyway you could get the clip of it + some before and after talk just so I could see the context in which you were playing it?
I really enjoyed the show and the topic of conversation...and allthough I accepted that it was cut out of the archive that's there, I couldn't help but wonder how my song played into the inegrity debate. 1. If a new artist, or a familiar artist that maybe you haven't gotten into - released a DVD that in theme essentially was a collection of music videos but with a central focused theme... (basically a DVD album), in surround-sound or not, would you buy it?
2. What if it was a re-release of the original album, but with video content, and you had the original CD? I have The Wall on Cd, but I didn't find the movie to be interesting, so a no in that case.
I have soundtracks to several movies but not the movies themselves. I often find one viewing of a good movie per decade enough so I dont see the point in buying them. There are of course exceptions to that if the movie has a complex plot like Momento, Blade Runner, Usual Suspects, or Goodfellas or the like where multiple viewings reveal greater detail. The musicaly oriented film that I most liked was Igmar Bergman's version of The Magic Flute. Don't be put off if it sounds too artsy fartsy, compared to Japanese anime it is not at all pretentious. It is just a simple story with good music and very likeable characters and that is all. 1. Probably not. Especially not if it was "a familiar artist that maybe you haven't gotten into." I'd be more likely to do it for a new artist if I heard/saw some sort of preview and liked it.
2. That depends entirely on the band, album, etc. I own several CDs that I haven't listened to in years. But if it was some album that I'm totally into, then sure. For me, The Wall as an album makes no sense at all without the movie. Mother and Run Like Hell are good enough songs on their own, but the movie adds a sense of progression to it and turns it into a cohesive work. Without it songs like Young Lust come out of left field and make no sense at all.
Interstella 5555 adds a progression to Discovery where I didn't think one was needed. It's a cool movie of course. I think the difference is I associate Pink Floyd with concept albums more than Daft Punk. I do have a few concert dvds (Pink Floyd, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow) and documentaries (Scratch), but Chemical Brothers is the only collection of music videos I own. Though I would consider getting The Works Of Michel Gondry. I think this just represents the esteem in which I hold the concerts and music videos of these people. For the average group I like I probably wouldn't want to pay for a collection of their music videos. Also, what I like doesn't get played on Much enough for me to possibly get sick of it. Especially now that Much Music is a 24/7 Pimp My Ride station. That enitre series should definately be viewable, although I've only got the Chris Cunningham one.
http://www.directorslabel.com/ I never liked Pantera, but anyway:
http://www.wral.com/news/3983737/detail.html Serious shit, sounds nasty.
I was a big Pantera fan some years ago (when Dimebag was still called Diamond, no less).... you just know the gunman is going to be a fan of another band or something. Shame that news story didn't explain what happened very well. It says he shot some people, then a bouncer tackled him. But a policeman turned up a couple of minutes later, and it says he had a hostage??
I guess it was probably complete chaos so we don't really know the details yet. Shocking though; I was never much of a Pantera or Damageplan fan, but if i was i'd appreciate knowing which other band member is dead. it looks like noone knows which other band member(s) died.
But i just found out this sick fuck decided to shoot Dimebag on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder. So, now that (uk)hardcore has climbed out of the filthy hole that was "happy hardcore" and into the "fucking storming hi-nrg acidized fecking awesome" seat it currnetly occupies, I was wondering if anyone else here listens to it? For anyone wanting to check it out may I suggest you have a look around for some of these great artists:
the CLSM Plus System Scott Brown Dougal & Gammer (recent stuff only tho!) Kevin Energy (Again recent only) But as I said on IRC I'm going back to mid-skool happy hardcore - Bonkers, Force&Styles, and all =).
is that the shooter was angry because Pantera is no more. (Apparently he was a hardcore fan)
now the irony was that it wasn't dimebag that chose to break up the band, t'wad their singer. Hey !! Jesus does music now (Photo of Devendra Banhart in the top left) ?? 8P
BTW, I'm currently listening to Rammstein latest album titled "Reise Reise", and it's really good german industrial rock, perhaps less powerfull than previous albums, but anyway, it's IMHO good music... for those who like rock.. take a lok at http://www.rammstein.com/ I'm currently working overtime, but since nobody else is in the office, I can listen to music. I've been listening to various stuff, but right now I'm listening to Ed Rush & Optical (The Creeps.)
Anyway, I was into dnb a bit at uni, and although I haven't listened to much in the past couple of years, I think I might start getting some good dnb cds. Since I know I like Ed Rush, I just pre-ordered Out of the Box from Amazon (the bonus dvd sounded like it might be really cool.) Are there any other good dnb cds that you think I might like? well i'm not into dnb these times, but i can name some of the cds i still listen to:
Movement- Perpetual DNB Motion (And other from Movement) Andy C - Ram Raiders in the mix (and other cds from Ram Records) Anything from True Playaz Dillinja - Cybotron Torque (true oldskool darkness) And of course Panacea, albums like: Disorder - 2nd Gen German Engineering Underground Superstardom Panacea/Cativo - The Hardest tour Andrea True Connection
Burt Bacharach The Carpenters Perry Como Cilla Black Connie Francis The Ronettes and of coursse, the hardest, most controversial motherfucker to ever come out of Jacksonville -- Pat Boone 1. Ignore blackpope, there is some good DNB on the Panacea shares thing but only a couple of tracks.
2. Mostly ignore Vondur as he is outdated, good suggestion for the time but mostly inapplicable. 3. Cancel your Ed Rush & Optical order unless you want a CD full off cheesey clownstep with wobbly basslines. However that is representative of ONE current DnB style....so... 4. Instead: General DnB over the last few years: Andy C - Nightlife (Ram) Andy C - Nightlife2 (Ram) --- both good for a varied selection of mostly energetic stuff. (Also try: Both of the Ram Raiders Mix CDs) Hard DnB recently: Various - Biological Warfare (Outbreak Recs) --- generally good and raucous mix CD Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane (BSE) --- two CDs of harder, trancier stuff, 2nd half of 2nd CD is best DnB evar. Dom & Roland - Chronology (Moving Shadow) --- atmospheric / industrial DnB, well produced. (Also try: Any of the recent albums on Renegade Hardware e.g. Four Elements, Paranoia, School Of Hard Knocks) Dancefloor / jump up / clownstep: Don't have much of this. The ER&O CD might be suitable. But also try: 3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (DJ Hazard mix) --- energetic & raucous. Futurebound presents: The New Generation (Infrared) --- errrr, ditto, plus the first track will blow your bollox off. (Also, the new DJ Die album will probably be good in that style). Mellow / atmospheric DnB: Not really into this but there's a lot of the "liquid funk" style around at the moment. Stuff like Calibre, High Contrast, Hospital Records etc. I kinda like: Klute - Lie Cheat and Steal --- more atmospheric and less howling vocals. DNB:
Shere Khan - Age (Petrol) Omni Trio - Rogue Satellite (???) 3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (3D Mode) Hardcore: Bonkers 2 (React) Bonkers 10 (React) Hixxy's Exclusive John Peel Mix (React) Gabber: DJ Producer - Interpretations (Rebel Scum) Techno: Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909 (???) Richie Hawtin - DE9: Closer To The Edit (???) Other: Von Thronstahl - Imperium Internum (Coldspring) VA - Chamber (Coldspring) I'm sure for power-noise, black ambient, neo-industrial and evile-electronica (for example), you are as cutting edge as ever =).
I haven't cancelled it yet, but I was trying to listen to a copy at work and I see what you mean by bouncy. Also, the tracks I could be arsed listening to all sounded very similar.
To be honest, I only listened to the first 3 tracks or so, then skipped into the album a bit to see if I could chance across something that sounded cool. My crappy speakers at work are a bit broken and the bass was making them fuck up, so I just stopped listening to the album. I put on Andy C - Nightlife instead, which I quite like, so perhaps I will buy that as opposed to Out of the Box. Black Angel Death Song - Velvet Underground
http://www.velvetunderground.com/withnico.html but nevermind. Conform!
War Is Peace Freedom Is Slavery Ignorance Is Strength also http://www.younggodrecords.com has been updated , there will be 2 new released next week
I personally am looking forward to both of them alot. As sort of a side project or dual project between mapping, I've been working on an album since November. I finished it yesterday and now it's there for you all to enjoy.
Try to listen to it as a whole, otherwise the songs might seem to have no definite structure. http://www.circa1984.com/releases/cir024.php I've just download all the stuff. I still didn't find time to listen all the titles (for sure I wil and give my humble opinion...), but title 3 "Qualude Font Design" link is broken... sorry for this bad news :(
Well, it's not the kind of music I'm generally listening (I'm rather used to listen Death Metal, Hard Core / Trance Techno, Pop Rock, etc..), but I found your album really interesting. It was a rather cool experience of quietness for me.... It's an ideal background music for a good diner at home with friends, or your girlfriend... Keep it up !
I gave that shit a try yo, I do listen to a bit of ambient stuff. This had some nice sounds in it and stuff and seemed well done but didn't really grab me much. Just my view tho, it's kinda tangential to my music tastes.
It reminds me a bit of the American McGee's Alice soundtrack--which is not altogether a bad thing--but as a unit, I'm not sure the ambience is cohesive or appropriate enough to provide good mapping music. Doubtless it was not intended to be mapping music, but that's mostly the only sort of music I listen to these days.
Mellow DnB:
http://www.vinylconnection.com/products/audio/GaryR-AtmosphericMix.mp3 Hard DnB: http://www.dogsonacid.com/dev/jho/upbeatsmix.mp3 General all round cool DnB with other shit: http://www.betarecordings.com/beta-site/audio/mixes/JohnB_DJMix_January2005.mp3 Metallica - The Call of Ktulu
(dunno why they spelled it wrong, perhaps to help people pronounce it properly, but anyway, ace tunes, no singing, wish they would mix in a vague ktulu ftagn :D) I just want to tell you how much I like your album. It took me sometime to get into it, but now I'm listening to it quite often.
I especially like "November Saturday PT 1", "Imaginary Archipelago" and the last three tracks. "The Truth" is a fantastic track! I'll definitely use that on some mixes ;) Thank you very much Spirit of 85! Glad there are people out there who like it so much. Let me know if you do put some of the tracks out on a mix or something, I'd love to hear the type of context it's being used in.
Joanna Newsom. Plain and simple. Magical and child-like, it takes me back to innocence and pure simple-minded indulgence. No rot like sex or politics, just helpful, loving mother's milk.
Pope, I think I would cyber you if you cybered me, reciprocity now that I think about it. You're a nice guy deep down, be at peace sir. Vondur, I will defeat you while I'm drunk and tired one day. Some day I it will come true. Right now, Joanna Newsom is all that matters. Bridges and Balloons and everything. Zwiffle is about as cute a drunk as this dog.
http://www.planetquake.com/pjw/grafix/cookiedog.jpg Can we keep him? As long as he doesn't shit on the rug? I don't think I wrote anything so innocent and lame the first time I got drunk...and I was ten!
my best friend's dog got into the brownies once. He fell on his side and pissed himself.
Zwiffle is going to regret post #220 in the morning. before. I use to always give my dogs half of my candy bars when I was a kid, and never seen one get sick or die as a result. I suspect that that may be an urban legend, just from my experience (probably created by a cat lover), but I could be wrong.
Chocolat is bad for most animals really, deadly in large doses, most of the time it just makes them sick, guess you had some tough dogs HeadThump, or maybe your candy bars just didn't have much chocolat in them. =)
I haven't given them chocolate for quite some time.
But what about beer? My dogs love it; especially if it is warm and flat. Dogs are wonderful beasts, I would become a farmer back before domestication existed and use my dogs as slaves for tree-climbing
I'm not drunk, this is really how I think. Seriously, I'm not drunk. Sparta is a good band imo, got Porcelain a couple weeks ago and it is quite good. Not heavy or anything, but floats like a butterfly in a straight direction, instead of all over the place. Quite focused imo, good stuff. A person who needs to reaffirm people that he is not drunk, probably is, but not necessarily drunk from alcohol or other chemicals. As I like to call it, So Little Sleep Your Mind Can't Think Straight.
Something I did recently.. beat and electric-piano was from some older demo experiment stuff I never used, so recently I sat with it and it kinda came together.
http://www.phait-accompli.com/rougefire/ http://www.purevolume.com/spiderthetylercore
5 year old kid doing vocals for some band its... strange. though some people dont believe its real... however i have no problem accepting its occurance, ive heard worse tantrums. Here's another rouge~fire demo.... it's kinda out there I mean... not my typical kind of arrangement. It's kind of an ironic song, given the title you'd think this might be hard rock, but it's not.

Shambler, I have some hardcore country-western you might be interested it. Also, I bet that last line contained "hardcore" somewhere in there too, but it was blocked by Func's line limit. No mention of NIN's "With Teeth" in this thread yet? Since the album has been out for a few weeks now, I figured someone would've posted about it by now.
Anyway, this is a very decent album. Not ground-breaking, but definately good. It may take a couple of run-throughs to "get it" and for the album to start growing on you. My favourite tracks are "All the Love in the World", "With Teeth" and "Right Where It Belongs". I am looking forward to seeing NIN perform at the Provinssirock festival in Finland next month. I listened to it, and didn't want to get it. The Downward Spiral is my fav but Fragile was good in it's own right too.
is the rockzors. very different from what i listen to normally, but still extremly nice.
fenixfunc 5 & schottkey 7th path.. ...The new(ish) album from Nu-nrg, the trance legends. If you like trance you've probably got this already... but if not, go get it now! Superb stuff all round.
You probably know the demoscene?
There was this quite famous finnish group way back called the future crew. They made some quite nice pc demos. Many of the guys then formed the game company Remedy. This is the original soundtrack for their epic megademo "Unreal". http://scene.org/file.php?file=%2Fdemos%2Fcompilations%2Fdemodulate%2Funreal.zip&fileinfo You need a plugin for winamp/whatever you use, BASS module is good. From 1993 or something... It's good, a bit uneven maybe for working background music. If you're interested, you can check http://scene.org for all kinds of things from the demoscene. An example could be a 64kb minutes long 3d intro with scenery and everything... at first i thought it sucked. but then i just gave it a few more spins and well, it's a good pop/rock album, nothing wrong here, as nin always were sorta electronic rock band. or whatever. only bad thing about with teeth is the vocals. and some lyrics. and reznor is at it again - creating several version of it, like, vinyl version having additional track. not that it's very good but still. anyways, the people in japan get the release with some neat bonuses, one of which is the alternate version of one of the best songs on with teeth - right where it belongs.
for the last couple of months i've been listening to various stuff from ministry, revolting cocks, and for some reason, zz top. panic dhh is what kicks my ass most at the moment. noise and pure energy. seeing them live was a unique experience. :)
unfortunately i missed the ambassador 21 gig (comparable to atari teenage riot, but better) last year, which could have been a similar one. the live recordings do not deliver their power very well, because the bass drums are hardly audible sometimes (like so often with 'non-professional' live recordings), but you might want to check it out nevertheless, along with the rest of the dtrash caralogue: http://www.dtrashrecords.com another trashy nice band from this label is schizoid, kind of grindcore influenced. my favortite is "covered in metal"... Really liked their early breakcore stuff - Harder Than The Rest compilation, Sonic Subjunkies, Christoph De Babalon, early Alec Empire. C de B's "My Confession" ranks highly as one of the darkest and most atmospheric jungle tracks ever. But as they tended more into punky stuff, I lost interest...
From here until eternity, there should be no one who ever uses the word "herein" in the context of a rock band due to the similar spelling of the word "heroin."
Been listening a lot to some anime stuff - Wind from Naruto and the closing theme from Samurai Champloo are my absolute favorites so far. Absolutely fantastic shit, also groovin to various Bebop tracks, lookin for more, but those are the best I've found so far.
Lately I've been really into "The The - Soul Mining"
It's just a great, overlooked alt/indie pop album from the 80s. The title as you might imagine, deals with soul searching and digging up the things you like and dislike about yourself. This is just about one of the most thoughtful and intricate pop albums ever made, and if you want to see where Trent Reznor picked up a few tricks, check this out. (Reznor signed The The to his label, so the influence is even more obvious) Sonically, it's really something. There's a lot of great synth work, but almost every song is peppered with some kind of chromatic percussion and energetic drum beat, so the complex lyrical content becomes more easily digestible. Check out this album if you have an open mind for something odd but ultimately extremely rewarding. I found The Cure's Wishes in an old case last weekend. I haven't listened to them in years, and I have to say, it stands the test of time very well, accept for 'Let's Get Happy.'
Stuff like Camelback Cinema, Bob's Party Time Lounge, Shake Hands With Beef...
Ahh good stuff. there are lots of it. and most of them are good, but also not really outstanding mostly.
i found the mixes by cativo, dunkelbunt and mookee to be quite unique and fresh in a way. plus they're suited for mapping AND playing alike. you'll probably see what i mean if you check them out. I know there's at least a couple of heterosexual real music listening mappers so here goes:
Gardenian - Soulburner (2000) Yeah it's gothenburg-metal but it's a bit on the aggressive side and the melodies are full and the rhythms just right in many songs. A few pieces have cheesy clean vocals. Although they are really well sung (on one take!), they could have made the lyrics with a bit more style in those songs. The third track, Deserted, just moves your guts. Gardenian is really good working music since the words are mumbled/growled so they don't disturb but you get a really good rhythm and furious feeling. ;) The Upbeats - Werewolf
HEAVY LIKE HELEPHANT. So who was insinuating dance music was fassyhole music again?? Pandora - http://www.pandora.com/
Can you help me discover more music that I'll like? Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs. We created Pandora so that we can have that same kind of conversation with you. To start things off, we'll play a song that exemplifies Local H's hard rock roots, mild rhythmic syncopation, minor key tonality, repetitive melodic phrasing and extensive vamping. LOL. But a cool site. I might subscribe after the free 10 hours expire. Or noise, if you prefer.
Thanks to the increasing bleak and wintery season, I've been getting back into dark amb and related noises. Recent purchases have included: Beneath The Lake - Silent Uprising (Glass Throat Recordings) Biosphere - Autour De La Lune (Touch Records) Ex.Order - War Within Breath (Malignant Records) Herbst9 - Buried Under Time And Sand (Loki Foundation) Kriegsfall-U - Kriefsfall-U (ColdSpring) PH2 - Resource (Dark Vinyl) Profane Grace - Cast In The Mold Of The Ancients (Memento Mori) Out of that lot, my favourites are the throbbing noise of Ex.Order, and the ambient drones of PHD2. Most of them are good though. Also, in a rare outing from the pit, I travelled down to the big city to go to Coldspring's 15th Anniversary party. Quite entertaining seeing some of this stuff live, and an amusing atmosphere ;). Bands were: Kriegsfall-U (good performance of tribal industrial drumming with nihilistic vocals and approach), H.E.R.R. (entertaining and varied performance of stirring military and industrial music), and Von Thronstahl (a bit disappointing, frontman has good stage presence, but too heavy metal compared to their CDs, and sound problems too). Got some more stuff on order as well. The dark amb / noise scene is brain-achingly bewildering at times. But there's some gems to be found I think ;). First, some nearly beatless ambient - I go for the drifting, psychedelic end of the genre more than the creepy dark stuff - though I can agree that Biosphere's an absolute master.
Ishq - Orchid Ishvara - Magik Square of the Sun Brian Eno and Robert Fripp - The Equatorial Stars Delerium - Spheres Pete Namlook and Mixmaster Morris - Dreamfish (on the FAX label, home of more ambient, synth, and dub than l'll ever fully explore) Robert Rich - Below Zero / Calling Down the Sky Maitreya - Telluric Waves Global Communication - 76:14 Ornament - Bleu H.U.V.A. Network - Distances Aphex Twin - Select Ambient Works Vol. II Then, some not-quite-pure-ambient.

W3rd.
An incredible rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by a dude on a ukelele. About eight million times better than it sounds like it would be. I think I may have shed a tear about halfway through.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6896725274049507867&q=guitar As a person who had been playing guitar from the age of 6 to the age of 13 I found that video to be OHMYFUCKINGGODAMAZING :o Damn, the hair on my hands and my back rose when listening to that.
Damn you. I just watched it again and it reminded me what a ridiculously stupid teenager I was at the age of 13, dropping out of GUITAR SCHOOL (after 6 years of playing) due to some stupid anti-parent-authority rebellion period I was going throw at the time
Join up again if you feel that strongly about it. It's not too late unless you're dead.
Hi czg, fuck you too man! :) /me waves merrily Son Doobie - Doobie Deluxe (Battle Axe) - phatass hip-hop with a slight gangsta feel. Solid beats and some class tracks.
Rob The Viking - Beats To Pillage And Conquer By (Battle Axe) - instrumentals from various Battle Axe releases, top quality stuff, real dope beats with nice melodies and stuff. Hardcell and Grindvik - Gainlane (Drumcode) - proper banging dancefloor techno for a bit of change, Fric you'll like this. P.S. TipHop is still excellent FFS everyone get it. That I've done
http://hosting.alanwake.net/tcf/ "a rare warmth" and "mohabbat" Also does anyone listen to Massive Attack, Tricky, Martina Topley-Bird (trip-hop) ? you have nice production going there. Not quite enough happens for my taste, but then this type of music isn't my area of expertise. I liked the end of 'a rare warmth'; it builds convincingly and goes somewhere.
overall, nice mood; especially in mohabbat. I think the 'sounds of the sea' effect you used in 'a rare warmth' needs to be changed to something else though: seems kind of tacky... they've got that effect on little casio keyboards but you've got a sexy Fantom. Cool backstory on your great-grandfather by the way. Nice thing to be able to write songs about. I'd do the same but my great-grandad ran a mill. What a shoddy concept-album that'd be. I'm from Bristol, which is pretty much the place where Trip-Hop started, so I've been exposed to quite a lot of it. I like it but I'm not really an expert to be honest. The only related thing I've heard recently is Beth Gibbons' (the singer for Portishead) solo album. That's not even really trip-hop anymore, but if you like Portishead, you'll like that.
Thanks for your insightful critique - I look forward to that more than "it was cool!" :)
To clarify a few things. The ocean-waves sound is something I contemplated for quite some time. Unfortunately I cannot remove them, as I no longer have the source WAV's - from a rather frustrated fit of deletion (although it did solve my issue of having 4 GB of raw files to backup :P) Also, not sure what you mean by Cool backstory on your great-grandfather by the way. Nice thing to be able to write songs about -- I just felt I had to name what I've got, so I named it after him. The songs, if you can call them that (I consider them more like soundscapes) are just typical, sonic manifestations of life experiences and moods :) A lot of movie scores influence me, sometimes I write with a scene in my head. Thanks for listening. By saying I just felt I had to name what I've got, I meant naming the humble studio after him. (I thought you might've mentioned 'studio' in your post and seem to have confused it all with the concept of an album)
I have it, just forgot to add it...whoops.
On that note, how's Mourning Sun? Hasn't come out in the US yet. It's good, not a disappointment, worth the wait etc. I'd say it made a good companion to Zoon; it's closer to it in terms of structure and the mix of atmospheric/aggressive sounds than it is to e.g. The Nephilim album. It's clearly more a product of Carl's personal digital audio craftsmanship, like Zoon, than the old style 'five blokes with guitars, incense and understanding neighbours' outfit of Petit et al.
As with Zoon, it doesn't reach the same transcendent momentousness of Elizium or Earth Inferno. But it definitely contains compelling and memorable stuff. And it's great to map to. Fields of the Nephilim is the single greatest mapping inspiration to myself. That's how i think i was able to finish my chapters map in such a short time, by just looping The Nephilim, Elizium and Revelations.
Just read on the Sumerland website that Mourning Sun doens't come out in the US until April 25. Methinks i'm going to say fuck it, and order it from Amazon UK. Your collection also has some sexy parts to it as well.
Now we need the third member of the Quake Metal Trinity to post his album collection. What might be the first of many posts, depending on whether i feel like writing them or not, on new CD purchases.
Taake - Nattestid Ser Porten Vid Norweigan Black Metal, utilizing the traditional Black Metal approach, to great success. Varied, interesting guitar work accented with heavy, pounding bass lines and solid drumming. Standard Black Metal vocals, with the occasional clean, deep vocals to add that special viking veneer. Well worth the 41 minutes. 9 / 10 my dying bride ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Dying_Bride )
cryptopsy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptopsy ) the first is a very weird mixture and changes quite a bit over the course of a few albums. sometimes death/doom(?)-metal; sometimes a weird mixture of katatonia/opeth/nirvana. I like the latter the most :) cryptopsy is 'an extreme brutal technical death metal band' according to wikipedia and just has nice rhythms - to a nonmusician it sounds like they really, really know what they're doing. growling sucks though. (i normally listen to katatonia, opeth, tool, korn, dnb, prodigy, afx, apparat) John B - In Transit. This album totally pwnz0rz, starts off with a strange mix of dnb and electro which works really well, then cascades into some excellent darker dnb towards the end, special mention must go to track 5 (Sight Beyond 2004) for the coolest beat ever.
and my new genre addiction... http://www.finrg.com/ Finland pwnz the freeform sound! Think of it as a refreshing alternative to the happy go lucky UK sound, these artists are not afraid to get their hands dirty and the results are fantastic. Just check out "Pain on creation - Adaptation" or any of the "Alek Szahala" tracks. Amazing stuff. Megaman:
Cryptopsy has always left the listener speechless with their technical prowess. With their latest album, however, they added in vastly creative song structure and strange pieces to further their already vast legacy. My Dying Bride i like, in particular their Angel and the Dark River Album, and The Light at the End of the World. Haven't heard anything more recent than that though. Vondur: After listening to the new album, i've got mixed feelings for it. To me, at least, it sounded like a punk / black metal fusion. Regardless, its a good album to listen to, despite my utter contempt for punk. Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry
The second release from Ukraine's most prolific Black Metal band does not disappoint. Majestic keyboard flourishes wage war with the almost melodic BM riffing, with the keyboards winning most of the time. Production is a bit rough, but only furthers the atmosphere. Oddly, vocals are mixed down the lowest, which works well on a symphonic album such as this. Overall, worth the time, the point where Nokturnal Mortum started to get good. 7.5 / 10 http://shop.finrg.com/samples/finrg_preview_30.mp3
but on second thoughts, that is a horrid sample of the track, crap quality and about 30bpm to slow... Here in Thailand I've mostly listened to Logh and Pelican's brilliant song "March to the sea", only brought a few mp3 cds though.
Yeah, Godflesh is perfect mapping music - I listen to Pure and Streetcleaner a lot while mapping.
Ionous - My Dying Bride is one of my favourite bands. You should definately check out Songs of Darkness, Words of Light. IMO it's their best work yet. Anyone else here listen to stuff like Sins of Thy Beloved (Lake of Sorrow) or Theatre of Tragedy (Velvet Darkness, Aegis)? I had meant to check out more of their discography, but mainly trafficing in the VAST Black Metal underground, you sometimes forget to check out material outside the genre. So, yeah, procuring SoD,WoL has just moved to the top of the list.
I don't remember if I already spoke about Rammstein band here. Anyway, they are from Germany and play gothic metal/hard rock that is very good IMHO. They "sing" in german most of the time, even there are some titles in english and spanish. BTW german lyrics give a "special" rythmic effects to the songs.
They sorted 5 albums titled respectively - "Herzeleid" - "Sehnsucht" - "Mutter" - "Reise, Reise" - "Rosenrot". The last 2 ones are so far the best of the fifth, and I really recommended them. BTW they got many awards last year for their work: In the MTV - Hit or Shit annual statement 2005, which was decided by voting, Rammstein came in on number one in three categories (Best Song - Benzin, Best Album - Rosenrot), in the category Best Video Rammstein even came in on all the three first positions (1st Rosenrot, 2nd Keine Lust, 3rd Benzin). I really encourage you guys to listen or discover this band if you don't know them ! It's up to you.. ;P I have the first three Rammstein albums, of which i like Sehnsucht the best.
In terms of pure German metal, Bethlehem definetly provides an interest level on par with Rammstein, especially their "Schatten Aus Alexander Veldt" album. You should buy "Mutter", "Reise, Reise" and "Rosenrot".. They are better than "Sehnsucht" album... believe me ;)
BT, I don't know Bethlehem band... I mean I don't know their music: I've heard their name, but for the rest... I'm unkowledgeable... sorry... Tyrann: Godflesh being perfect mapping music ?
lol ;) I always go berserk to their stuff, how can you sit still and even map ?? Lately I have been listening to mostly:
A lot of various electronica albums I got off bleep.com. (Elektronische Musik - Interkontinental 3, Advanced Public Listening 1, Advisory Circle - Mind How You Go) The Rephlex remix album of the Manhunt soundtrack. A whole fucking lot of Autechre and Gescom. Especially Untilted and Keynell EP, but I also downloaded this huge The Knife - A swedish band that makes pretty synth/elektro/vocal music. Pulp. The odd bit of noise here and there. Vondur sent me some Brighter Death Now which I need to get more of. The Rez soundtrack, both original and official. The Streets, which is surprising I guess. This: http://bleep.com/?bleep=JBH015CD (NSFW) PLEASE. The Rhythms are sooo simple. The Lyrics are very lyrical though, which is a nice thing. Not much meaning, but they sound great. Also the america song is hilarious.
yeah, looking forward to hearing their new album when I get home, their previous one wa mostly good.
i'm searching for nice, calm ambient music; for sleeping/resting, but also for background noise during work hours.
ATM i'm listening to afx (selected ambients mostly) and apparat. Any ideas? (links'd be great!) I've always liked the Fresh Aire series by Mannheim Steamroller. Andreas Vollenweider is nice too, for some calming stuff. I'm especially fond of his "Dancing With The Lion" disc. If you like flamenco guitar, Ottmar Liebert kicks much ass. You can easily find all of these (plus samples to listen to) on Amazon with a search.
Brian Eno's ambient series and also Music for Airports and Thursday Afternoon.
Vondur can probably recommend shitloads of dark ambient if that's your cup of tea. Lustmord and R A A N and whatever the fuck. Biosphere is supposedly good tho I don't like it much myself... If you want to relax, he is the king :)
"far away trains passing by" and "A strangely isolated place" are the albums of his that I own, and both pwn. If you like them give the "Farmer Boys" from southern Germany a try. Maybe you can find their fantastic "The World Is Ours" album.
Hey guys, I am looking for a station similar to SomaFM's "cliq-hop" station, which plays IDM all day long at 128kbps. However, they do tend to repeat stuff a lot, which is why I am looking for a similar station that maybe has a little more variety.
I haven't had a chance to burn stuff to bring into work so I need a temporary fix. czg, pope, I am looking squarely at you guys o_o You shouldn't be getting any sort of messages from my Comcast mail because the account is still active and paid for :|
In the meantime if that isn't working for you, I regularly check [b]lolleyballz AT gmail dot com[/b] So yeah let me know of any stations you listen to regularly because I feel like I usually dig anything you're into usually. czg too, but he wants to remain entrenched firmly in cuntdom so that is that :) I'll try and get on IRC at some point to talk to you, I've just been working long almost everyday to get up to speed (I'm at work now), and haven't even had time to unpack and setup my stuff :( Anyway thanks dude and I will talk to you soon hopefully for those that are into it, check out these new releases (if you can find them!)
[FINRGHARD003] 2 great tunes from dj rx, fisheye being my personal favourite as its much darker =) [EPLATE006] Electroplates is a spinoff from the label "electronic" that do some great stuff, this one is limited to 150 presses but its great, "Horatsu" is a swirling monster of a track and "Eidetiker" is more UK bouncy sound but still ok. [EPLATE004] The finland inspired vinyl, hitting off with Alek Szahala's "Unicorn grove", and fantastical swirling ride that he does so well, the on the flip you've got "Holocaust of death" and "imitation of life" which are both fantastic UK efforts at the finish freeform sound, highly recommended! [ETRIC022] Eternal Damnation EP. Woot for Panacea!! A fantastic Panacea remix of Shanty's "Times Trouble" featuring a full on mix of hardcore and dnb in that crazy way that panacea is known for. On the flip is a evil but tasty one called "Reign of terror" by Oli G and Shanty. but does anyone who has seen Cube 2: Hypercube, know what the song is that plays for both the titles, and end credits? i love it so much... i recorded it from the movie, but i'd much rather have a proper version of it with good quality :P
"Nostalgia" and their album Arcana Publicata Vilescunt
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006FYFZ/qid=1147278539/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/104-3015777-5163114?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285492/soundtrack is all I could find. And that movie sucked super-ass. Never mention it again.
Please direct yourselves to : http://www.tyranoid.net/index.php?id=1
check their mp3 downloads, some fantastic stuff here, "need another drink" "Whipped" and their remix of "Marco V - Godd" are my favourites. But the rest is good too. ACCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIID Fascinated to see what will happen at next years eurovision, this year was the first time I watched with real keen interest, next year will be exciting too :D
HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH! I saw yesterday night the results of Eurovision 2006 contest... and what a surprise to see Finland's Black Metal band won the price... Is it the rebirth of Death Metal ? I hope personally !!
ROFLMAO !! If you like hard dance, you should own this album already :)
What a brilliant collection this is, ranging from the upfront UK sound to the more bizarre finnish freeform stuff currently doing the rounds, this album is definitely on the crest of current hard dance infuluences. The self titled track takes the album by storm I think with a brilliantly vibrant and dark melody that captivates me to no end, all the other tracks seem to meld into this showpiece that proves that lab4 are still the kings of hard dance music. Recommended. ps - I am very drunk Which band won?
Finland has been putting out some great Black Metal as of late, most notably Horna. the Finnish band that won eurovison?
Now there is a lot of good music coming out of Finland, but that isn't one of them :D Just checked out Lordi, pretty amusing. Though when it comes to slightly goofy metal, i still prefer Finntroll.
Good stuff coming out of Finland: Horna Behexen Azaghal Exordium Guess this fits in here:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/video/2/NoOtherDestiny.wmv Trailer for Eve Online, music by Black Sun Empire, pretty fucking class if you ask me. for free: http://www.planescape-torment.org/?page=soundtrack
What is it: Ethereal, Ambient, Synth-Orchstral, New-Age, Typical Game OST, Evil, Positive. Oh yes ! The video is very good... Nice indeed.. And the techno soundtrack is fucking good !
Had originally planned to see Ministry, but since i suffer from narcolepsy, needed someone to go with, and make sure i'd stay awake on the 90 minute drive home. Didn't find anyone, so bought albums instead.
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey Ministry - Psalm 69 Satyricon - Now, Diabolical Shoshtakovich - Best of... Tidfall - Nucleus Just picked these up on Sunday, some very enjoyable laid back & melodic trance with some great vocal work too;
Above & Beyond - Tri-State A great single cd album, the classic above and beyond light pad work and wide synths mixed with some fantastic vocal work. The album shifts pace quite a bit, a few tracks with a steady beat and then a more ambient laid back track or a vocal soundscape will come in. Very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to. Gabriel & Dresden The self titled album from G&D features some excellent vocals and interresting, fresh melodies mixed with that unmistakable G&D "bouncy" beat and rythem. Some of the tracks sound very unique with some interresting synth work that you don't really hear anywhere else. Its a lot less "trancy" than the Above & Beyond album, with the vocals doing the work instead of big wide synths or pads. Both are recommended if you like Trance with a slightly laid back & relaxing atmosphere. Thanks for that list. I'm gonna try to have a listen to some of those and maybe snag a few when I have somemore $$.
The track is "arrakis" from this album : http://www.juno.co.uk/products/138962-02.htm&highlight=black%20sun%20empire
w00t :) I have been going through this weird phase of listening to a lot of techno groups from the 90'ies and I can wholeheartedly recommend the album "Dune" from the band of the same name if you are into happy hardcore / eurotrance. Some Wikipedia info on the band here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28German_band%29
According to my Last.FM page ( http://www.last.fm/user/dnaumov ) I have also been listening to a lot of Placebo, ATB, Depeche Mode, Robert Miles and as always, Nine Inch Nails as of late. bought a new cd yesterday. Karl Sanders - Saurian Meditation. Very interesting ethno-dark-folk-ambient sound. I laughted a lot when I saw that one track was called The Elder God Shrine. And the author mention the game Quake in the info about this track.
I picked that up about a year ago off of Relapse's ebay store, good stuff. Excellent to play Diablo2 (act2) with, and Id imagine some Quake as well. Nice variation from the crushing death metal he usually plays with Nile.
Where did he mention Quake? On a website or in the booklet? I had not noticed such. Elder God Shrine has too many quads anyways ;) Here's the album Pulsar is on aboot:
http://shop.fye.com/product.aspx?sku=63911467&loc=50244 Where did he mention Quake? On a website or in the booklet? I had not noticed such.
In the booklet. He said that the title had come from the old game Quake. thought to bring this thread up again.
I'm listening to shades of god. Shame this band became pop then later. Well, I guess that happens to every band. Hard to sustain your style or aspect for ten years and not become repetitive. So they turn to pop. Or maybe it's a financial necessity. I can't understand average people, are their feelings and experiences described by such horrible plastic what you see on MTV? I guess I'm a purist and like this raw touch here. The vocalist is really good. Although the music is a bit brutal at times. if you're into Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle you should really try Dog Fashion Disco with their latest effort, Adultery.
it's one of the best records so far for this year. http://www.lab4.com
Its official, the best hard dance live act of the last decade will end on NYE this year :( Sad, sad, sad news Been listening to a lot of breakbeat recently I thought some of you might be interested, its pretty cool stuff ranging from electro tinged retro sounds to more of a rough, dirty drum n bass approach and its just really fun to listen to as well. Check out some of these artists :
Autobots D-Ranged Screwface Ctrl-Z Scam Freestylers Bomberman Strider http://breakbeatonline.co.uk/ http://www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk/ Some personal favourites you might want to check out... Scam - Killer Scam - Acid Love Screwface - Army of darkness Freestylers - Warrior Charge (Breakfastaz Remix) Freestylers - Jump N Twist D-Ranged - Get Shift (Far Too Loud Remix) Rektchordz - Bass Pressure (Wavewhore Remix) Happy listening :D What is happier music than Eurodance?
I don't know. But sometimes I really like Eurodance. So here are three nice mixsets I found in the di.fm forums: Screamboy - The Classic Eurodance Scream 1-3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DLP8LHNT http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2RJASWR http://www.megaupload.com/?d=23JBBEUR And for the calm moments I started a small blog (yuck) where I am posting free Ambient stuff as reminder about it for myself and sharing with others. :) http://ambientic.wordpress.com/ I'm a really big Alice in Chains fan. It seems to be the one band that combines every element or attribute of music that interests me into one sweet style of awesomeness. So I felt like posting here, the fact that quite some time ago I ran into a cd which was a side project by the late lead singer Layne Staley.
The band, called Mad Season, was short lived (just one 10 song album and a short tour). This album though, has become one of my favourite albums. While I love Alice in Chains for the heavy metal bashing and smashing, Mad Season is a lot slower and more thoughtful music. There's things that even someone who gets past all the grunge/alt-metal cliches will be surprised by (blues, for one). Although this is basically a cult following type cd today, it's really good and listening to it now really drives home just how incredibly far rock music has strayed from anything resembling sincere personal expression and artistry in the twelve years since its release. The slow, quiet single "River of Deciet" is on youtube. this is not an official video, but suits this song really well, and it is one of the albums best songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRma4GSpzkc The CD is on my regular circulation and is one of my favorites; it definitely strays from HM cliches and avoids the mannered approach that makes Fusion unlistenable (the bassist is a Jazz player). They staked out a territory that is quite unique with that album.
how incredibly far rock music has strayed from anything resembling sincere personal expression and artistry
/me sheds a tear AIC has long been one of my fav's and inspirations.
Checkout Would? live but it's with their tour singer, not Layne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnpbGisUZko http://doom.ocremix.org/
Covers/remixes of Doom I music put together by people from the OC Remix scene. Yeah I've had that album for a while too, good stuff, was happy to hear Layne Staley once again when I found it a few years back.
Love him or hate. He's doing some kind of drum'n'bass, somethingstep, electro stuff. You can download great mixes from http://www.john-b.com/ (audio).
but his older stuff was much better, check out his Album - "In transit" from 2002-3-4 cant remember :) Pure class!
Yeah, I have that one. I got known of John B by the "russian version" of his American Girls on Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 ( http://www.discogs.com/release/843552 ). I really want to buy that CD but all I can find are torrentsites or mp3 shops. :(
This track is from Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 too, http://electrokids.org/mp3/4cus/4cus-prekrasnoe_daleko.mp3 "Older"?? You kids crack me up. Get back to the Catalyst / Redox era, that's the shit you need.
Good guy though, don't rate everything he's doing these days, but I respect his blending of styles and his production has always been top notch. You guys need to find this track:
The Bezerker - Final Sacrifice (for some reason I am almost addicted to listening to it) I finally finished my deep space ambient mix.
http://spirit.enjoys.it/sleepdrive/ Happy traveling. :) I found some vids of him playing guitar (along with his brother Bobby, who is an amazing drummer) whilst looking on Youtube a while ago and decided to have a listen to some of his music. You can find plenty of sample tracks on his website www.ronjarzombek.com
His band, Spastic Ink recorded a song that matches up to a scene in Bambi, which is quite interesting and can be found on Youtube. Anyway, it looks like he is about to release a new album soon, and there are samples of 5 tracks on his website. He is also a guitar teacher... If anyone is attracted to warm and beautiful Ambient or Classic, go check out Olafur Arnalds - Eulogy for Evolution. It's wonderful. He is a death metal guy, but somehow does Classic too.
http://www.myspace.com/olafurarnalds (not so good tracks) I found this while googling, maybe it's the album :o http://www.mediafire.com/?5jumzcmzy3y Buy it here: https://ssl.webpack.de/imperialclothing.de/shop/product_info.php?cPath=236_260&products_id=4054&osCsid=e5abfc7eb0bd1bf8e257d17efc86b1b1 Sweet - 'pon the dl for both of those.
Recently I have been listening to (deep breath): Merzbow, Swollen Members, Juice Blender records comp, Drokz & Tafkat, Hospital records comp, Calyx, Raison D'Etre, Herbst 9, Baphomet, Therapy?, The God Machine, Hixxy, Sharkey, LSG, and Billy Nasty. <insert moshing badger smiley here> scroll up to where it says #376
Shambler, LSG, yay. I hope you got their The Best of L.S.G.: The Singles Reworked (Disc 1 is the good one). I grabbed that last remaining copy of it I think. :) http://www.superstition.de/releases.php4?action=display_release&release_id=079ef3f6fc737d21b464ea2016d4d26d I hadn't heard of that, no. Just ordered it through Amazon, I expect it will be out of stock though....still the super-saver delivery might carry forward to the rest of my order...
netherworld <3
hearts <3 hidden sun of venus <3 i never did check out 'the singles reworked', although i own 'the black album' and also the free unreleased album released via mp3 on lieb's myspace: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=153811890&blogID=232662498&MyToken=dcfb5922-8e3c-4f6f-be15-9135f09f97e4 the guy is such a versatile producer & the amount of work he's been involved with is nigh on neverending Hidden Sun of Venus?
We got the sci-fantasy name randomizer up and running. Good. Any parameter checks built in to weed out absurd results? Nope. Well, we'll just have to go with what we have then. True. What is odd, I looked up some of those tracks and a few sounded farmilar to me though I don't recall the context. Probably from club DJ sampling, that sort of thing.
awesome, thanks!
The Singles Reworked is pretty that chilled but very energetic mood much like that unreleased one. If anyones needs it but can't purchase anymore, just send me a mail (cough). i'm definitely excited to hear more about these albums, but i have never heard data ambient...
I do believe Virologic at least could be described as Data Ambient, as could Cordell Klier. Search for the MP3s on that Cold Spring page and see what you think.
Just stumbled upon some nice droning:
http://www.last.fm/music/Seht I was going through a ton of CD's from the 90's that I keep up in a closet and I noticed I'm missing three cd's from a particular group. I can't remember the name of the group, nor the names of particular songs though a few tunes are running in my head.
The lead singer sounds like David Byrne and the band takes a similar Afro-Caribbean approach to their sound as did The Talking Heads. I skimmed a few best of the 90's album lists to see if that would pump my memory, but nada. Who the hell is this band? I'm pretty sure it isn't. Thanks, though.
It's more than the Mormons who came to my door this morning were willing to do. I'm trying to recall a band name, and they are all like, 'have you been saved?' Like they just didn't get it, or something. I remember their hit from the 80's. Sort of appealed to the inner persecuted homosexual in everyone, just as Stumbling Towards Ecstasy appealed to everyone's inner new age feminist, Bulls On Parade to everyone's inner leftest punkass, and Back and Black to everyone's inner badass.
Music is the Universal Language. Still not the correct group though. Did anyone here (Kell) make it to the Fields of the Nephilim show?
I'd be interested to hear any accounts. what's funny about this is I have a good idea who has the CD's, but I can't call them on it until I remember.
'You have those cds of mine from, uhm, that group?' "what group are you talking about?" 'you know, the one who did the song Universal -- the title escapes me' "Not ringing a bell." 'you know, they did a ballad, Heaven ' "Lotta groups have songs titled that." 'They turned part of Ginsburg's Howl into an upbeat ditty.' "I can't help you." "This is killing me!" :)
http://www.tmbg.org/cool/linnell/ Not TMBG or the ones listed in #408, I'm starting to feel like there may be a glitch in the Matrix. Found a mention of them in a Ron Jarzombek interview so decided to check them out and found lots of stuff on youtube. Got kind of hooked on Panasonic Youth (downloadable from their MySpace page) from their Miss Machine album and ended up grabbing the album too.
Greg Puciato's screaming sometimes gets a bit much, but he can kind of sing too, and the guitar and drum work more than makes up for it when you can hear it. http://www.myspace.com/dillingerescapeplan rocks.
you might like converge, too, although that's more metalcore than mathcore. Dillinger Escape Plan & Mike Patton - [12/31/2002 San Francisco, CA @ The Great American Music Hall #06] Like I Love You (Justin Timberlake) 4:52
Any fellow Shantel fans here? I just got his new album Disco Partizani and damn it's nice. More vocals than on the Bucovina albums (don't know his other works) but well down. I love music from the balkan.
Can't see how one can enjoy that screaming growl metal rattattadam mess of noise above. I am missing rhythm and melody there. :o I stopped to get a beer and sandwich for lunch this afternoon at a place downtown and saw a posted advert showing the band will be playing here locally next week. Woo Hoo!
Oh, the band, Rusted Root. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusted_Root I'm looking for durable ones to take around with me, preferably not too expensive. Maybe even a "collapsible" pair (that fold up).
Suggestions? To be serious they are decent headphones.
I can't say too much about the sound quality since I'm half deaf, but they're comfy, durable and fold up into a neat little lump. Kingston Wall. I picked it up again, thinking naah, it's the third album, it ain't that good. But it is. Gets better towards the end. The godlike drumming, and everything just works. The saxophone.
You guys really should get into it, it's a totally underappreciated band. They only did three albums. The second one is the best. But get them all. Ultimate feeling music that gets your blood flowing. http://niggytardust.com/ (It's free!)
It is brilliant. Trent Reznor produced it so it sounds like NIN mixed with hiphop. Ambitious progressive stuff that also has power and takes you with in the rhythm. It's quite diverse and some songs suck ass, while others are great. :)
Heard them twice live, dunno how it'd work on a record. It probably wouldn't. NIN-hop is weird. It's very interesting; but it seems to drift too much into pop-/(too common hip-hop/rnb)-melodies in some parts.
needs a few more listens :o Bogdan Raczynski's got a new album coming out on the 19th.
It used to be called Yeeeeehhhaaaaawww but now it's called Alright! Bogdan said This one will be funny, I promise. No more of that accordion magic and 'woe is my' mystyness. The new album is all about joy. It is the music I would play if the universe only had ~45 minutes left. Or if I were to pass, I would be content, knowing that I had unleashed a bit of happy energy onto the planet. Think 1992 megamixes, trance, math beats, my favorite basil-based kitchen recipes, four to the floor, giggles and an explosive happy energy. You can download the entire thing as a preview for free in 16kbps mp3. http://www.bogdanraczynski.com/show/brog/37/0/alright_album_preview.html I think the embedded player on his site has a bit better quality. Talvikuningas
Well, it may be a King Crimson and other seventies proge ripoff in ways but nevertheless they had the ambition and balls and did it. It has some nice rhythms and unorthodox stuff but some of the absolute numbness of that era progressive stuff as well. The whole album tells a real epic story as well. I didn't like the music or story at first that much but it's slowly growing on me. You can look up "punainen komentaja" on youtube to see a video that is a short summary of the story at the same time. WH40K inspired scifi, planets, battles, cyborgs... Oh and everything in Finnish. So requires some openness of mind. "Converge formed in the winter of 1990."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converge_(band) how's that angry-young-men-and-they-are rly-serious-omg? hey guys i made a mix you might like:
http://www.medusiform.net/mix/dub%20session%20one.mp3 dubstep, techno, ambient http://www.jahtari.org
Dub, Reggae etc. I am just listening to http://www.jahtari.org/music/ID_023.htm Wow. one of my ex-flatmates loved Pig Destroyer, we used to play the drinking game where you take a shot every time a new song starts.... I forget the name of the album but the songs were all like 20 seconds long, it was horrible. Not really my style of music but pretty fucking hardcore, I'll say that.
I will post a couple of tracks what me and my mate Steevo layed down on my 8-track. All this talk of people making music reminded me (dont have the mp3's at work with me at the mo).
Who likes thrash/NWAHM type stuff? Also is anyone any good at sequencing beats? I know this is heresay at the mo. Im gonna post them on the Shub-Hub, for not being arsed to post them anywhere else. Might do it later actually... Here they are:
http://shub-hub.com/files/misc/Dialemma.MP3 http://shub-hub.com/files/misc/Pow.MP3 All original stuff guys You heard it here first! I Just thought it might go quite well with Quake, except there are no drums or bass. If anyone recons they might be able to stick some cool sequenced drums over them then feel free. Both recorded in my living room on my Gibson LP Studio through either a JTM45 Re-issue or a MG30DFX (a really good amp or a REALLY shit one!) I wrote Pow! and Steeve wrote Dialemma, then we both accompanied eachothers ideas. I'm listening it right now, Dialemma it is.. Great stuff!
Has the melody richness of more than probably the whole year of these dull noise and ambient repetition listening mappers, summed into one song... A small bit of cleaning up required. But definitely nice ideas and style there! I will tell steve that somebody likes it!
I know about the recording quality! Each song has just two guitars, each part recorded in one take through a couple of vocal microphones in my livingroom. Apparently theres this thing called 'dig-it-al mod-el-ling'!!? ;-) I think Pow is by far the better of the 2, and not only in sound quality. The first one sounds like crap to my ears. How are you recording, via a mic'd amp, or direct into the recording system?
Much better than that hip hop, bop 'till you drop, aint never gonna stop, rap crap, scratchy scratch, chicka chicka, duff duff, yo momma, wazzup, yo bro, who's the ho, synthesized, homogenized, pasteurized, hardcore, softcore, applecore, Club, House, get down, get back up again . . . , if the guitars ain't slayin', it aint worth playin' . . . , you know what I'm sayin' Oh, get a real guitar, LP Custom or SG ;) Play it loud and Play it proud!! Didn't read the part about a couple of vocal microphones in my livingroom So I know the answer to my question How are you recording . . .
Apparently theres this thing called 'dig-it-al mod-el-ling Nay, blasphemer, there is no better way to capture the sound of a slightly bent guitar, then through a mic'd amp, of course it does depend on the quality of the amp, and the mic, but you can get a good sound with an SM58, which is a Vocal mic, better still a SM57 though. If you haven't got a good sound from the amp, or you can't pump it loud enough, then I guess you could use digital stuff (ooh, I feel unclean) ----------------------- A better sound on the first one would have done wonders, Pow could use better sound to, but also you need to get more separation, plus some drums and bass of course would be good. Grab yourself a copy of BFD and Trilogy, and away you go :) BFD is an acoustic drum module, the name I think is a bit of a take on the BFG, 'cause they answer the question,
'What does BFD stand for?' with, 'Whatever you want it to :) - but it's certainly big and it's certainly drums' It's very nice, very realistic sounds, the whole set (plus expansions)comes on 21 DVD's take up about 130GB space, it Rocks. Trilogy is a base module, it too is awesome, very real sounding. You should get yourself some form of multi track recording program for the PC, you will find it much, much better than the Fostex, easier to use, once you learn it, far more flexible, and the options are endless. You can get good cheap ones, even free ones, but once you try, you'll never go back. Also dont knock my guitar
Oh, get a real guitar, LP Custom or SG ;) Notice the ;) Studio is good, but it also comes down to quality of wood etc, there is a lot in it. LP custom are very versatile, SG on the other hand are made to rock, I have one of the original Tony Iommi signature models, it only has one thing on its mind :) Ibanez are good, although I did start to get a bit tired of them, the feel, had a few RG 750's, 760's, S520, but I keep my old JS1000 (satriani signature model) it feels so nice. Besides, its black Yes black looks very nice, all mine are black. And bash it youself. You can get a good sound from just hitting your guitar you know... What kind of amp do you use?
15 watt Peavey transtube thingy.
I mostly play around with my acoustic steel string, or have for the last years. have you ever seen the pixies live? They have parts of the song which involve the guitarist kicking the amp to give a sort of explosion sound! But you need an amp which will do it, not just any old amp. You want one which makes a horrendous popping sound when you turn it off at the wall socket. It doesnt have to be an expensive amp...
It's got to do with the reverb unit in the amps, I won't bother correcting your other mistakes/mis-information further above, because as the owner of a large Music store chain for the past 12 years, and an Australian Gibson rep for 8 years prior to that, I probably don't know what I am talking about ;)
Let's get some proper tunes up in this place
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UNZxW6C4BNg http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Divisions/Gibson%20USA/Guitars/LesPaul/Studios/Studio/
http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Divisions/Gibson%20USA/Guitars/LesPaul/Standards/Standard%20Premium%20Plus/ OK - So the pickups models arent quoted exactly, and the wood specs arent exact - I mean were you ever a luthier? But its near enough to illustrate my point. Are you talking about coil reverb units? On another note, what do you think of the BFG? I was thinking of getting one of them, but I have been advised from 'other' sources that they probably wont retain their value very well (I still want one tho ;-) and Plant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyLo19rnPXw This is what I talked about much earlier. The most underrespected band in the world, Kingston Wall. Sorry about the bad quality. Just listen to.. well, everything! The drumming, the guitar, the bass, the feeling! I have never heard that before!
Is like GNR/Floyd/Hendrix/Pearl Jam... Reminded me of this for some strange reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27YaZMam1OY I'm looking forward to seeing them live this month
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9FqCcT2cNs That's the video for Big Sugar's breakthrough video. In Canada we have rules that a certain percentage of music played on music stations has to be of Canadian origin, but as a guy who hates mainstream music I'm glad of it. If a band becomes just plain old successful (ie, hits the US market, and most Canadian bands that have done so I'd feel dirty to even mention by name), we will hear them anyway. Oh god will we hear them. But there are plenty of good bands that we hear because of these rules. Normally I like the more intellectual and depressing stuff, but I grew up on Big Sugar, and they just rocked so hard, and had so much talent for performance, improv, and just plain music, that they are definately one of Canada's best bands to me (and many others). i just listened to the two mp3s you uploaded. great stuff, lots of potential! thanks for that! :)
Heres some cool dance music!
I think the guy's too busy pratting about with Madonna nowadays... http://www.methodstudios.com/movie/90.html ... you may now be jealous (or more likely you won't have heard them and don't give a damn).
Not Joking - Was big news!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G_JTMuHOQk Theres not much on YouTube yet but I found this!!! I bantered with David Grohl at a Queen of the Stone Age gig a while back. He sat at our
table during the opening act (VAST). I have a feeling Shambler will top us all on this score, though. so it was more like, he comes up, asks, 'mind if I take this chair', and I said, 'sure'. You bitches should still be jealous, though.
that's helps my ego. I do know one famous musician, personally. But I think he is overrated, writes his songs in a way that is bait for Rolling Stone music critic types, and is a jackass in
real life, so I wont mention his name. No....Shambler has no interesting celebrity tales.
Someone once said you DJ'ed, and DJ's tend to meet everybody that rolls through town. The first track from distran's 2008 solo album is now available for listening and download from his myspace page.
http://www.myspace.com/distransitive The track, 'Cristo Zatten Gaylord', from the upcoming "of webs and friends" album, is a frivolous, wry and sometimes deeply disturbing piece...much like the person who inspired it. Enjoy! Other tracks being worked on at the moment include "Smabintor 08" and "Joy; Luck; Sympatico". Keep your ears open... http://parampararecords.com/?parampara=release&id=PRPRCD001
fantastic free psychedelic chillout / ambient goa that is. Dongas Tribe - Rainy Night in the Bell Tent
http://www.archive.org/details/rainy_night_in_the_bell_tent These were british anti-highway counterculture guys and nomads. And how nice and passionate they play! in Ambient, Chillout, Psychedelic, Goa, Dub etc visit me at http://enjoys.it
RSS subscription recommended. ;) Been rating this recently. Currently listening to The Destroyer's album on Epileptik, well banging.
Also been linking Manu Le Malin's sophisticated Biomechanik Vol 3 on Uncivilised World, and some of Hardoholic's Global Disorder on BEAST Records. And have ordered the Nordcore GMBH mix CD from Epileptik (have always rated Lord Nord's excellent productions), Biomechanik Vol 2 (to complete the collection), and the ultraclassic Technohead 3 compilation on React (just class stuff). Life is best lived at 220 bpm... Not sure if you people know Ugress and Shadow Of The Beat, two projects by Gisle Martens Meyer from Bergen (Norway). He's been producing and releasing music on the internet for years, and it's quite brilliant in my opinion. It ranges from very cinematic, soundtrack-like tracks to excellent dance tunes with great vocals, all very atmospheric.
Anyway, you can listen to his latest albums for free on last.fm: http://www.lastfm.com/music/Ugress/Unicorn And here's the latest Shadow Of The Beat album: http://www.lastfm.com/music/Shadow+of+the+Beat/The+Shadow+Vault+-+Entities+2000-2007 Hope some of you enjoy his stuff. Big fan of electro-industrial, Dark-elektro and Death-Robot music personally. Fave bands are Allied vision and Front Line Assembly.
I should commend here the soundtrack to "Ravenous," by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn. It is unconventional, odd, and extraordinarily effective in capturing a simultaneously sinister and absurd/amusing mood. This movie is a cult classic (I've seen it far too many times) but it would be nothing without this music (which I often listen to by itself).
That song that plays at the end, when they're lieing in the bear-trap, bleeding to death sends shivers up my spine!
Anyone got a link? I didnt know who it was by though. I've seen it advertised as a CD on the net... still listening but so far this has the ambling pointlessness of a zip of unfinished
I had pretty high hopes this was going to be four more Quake Soundtracks of Awesome. :( There are a few nice tracks, but mostly lots of boring stuff unfortunatly. I was hoping for another "Still", but this definetely isn't it.
...you cant even sit in a bar, smoke, have a drink in a dark corner and look cool anymore.
:-( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxiEMpcI83E captures my mood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL5q2qFmJEY
two punks and a roland, no pretentious rock-star bullshit, sorry. when you put everything through a million filters there's no information left, it all just sounds the same. It's extremely dull. You have quantization and you have sine waves and that's it.
It usually also doesn't have much inspiration - other music tells of human relations and feelings, nature or history and all kinds of expressions. That isn't as itself necessarily bad, but it sometimes turns out that way. You need some input to produce some output. Otherwise it's just recycling. The rhythms in dance music are usually idiotic. And other music of that sort like breakbeat does have changing rhythms but usually doesn't have any melody sot it sucks because of that. Chip tunes on the other hand don't try to be "atmospheric" by ramping the same buzz sound slightly louder for a minute, but concentrate on the compositions, and they often rock. If you just don't listen to that stuff too much. Spd's scifi movie music demonstrates the fact very well, it's completely horrible and unatmospheric. Feels like some kids just played with a cheap effects toy. You get humm and buzz and cling, volume ramps and a dulling filter and that's it. Sorry, tired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMW0t17Ft5o&feature=related
(its the same piece but loads faster on my machine, and seems to have 50'000 views as opposed to 8'000... Ricky: that´s the stuff, though don´t like him destroying his guitar, and his vibe IS that of an aging rock-star, still cool though
czg: nice stomper Btw I get up to 80-90% cpu usage on youtube and sometimes videos lag, any ideas; weird because fullscreen everything is normal ? http://youtube.com/watch?v=MJPdVVOmbz4
The originals sound interesting to me even in the short clips - because they actually are part of some composition versus pure repetition. But if you view teletubbies as good TV drama then I guess these sampling hacks can be heard as good music. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Revolution/6763981628
nothing to get too excited about . . . ;-D (note: the artist who wrote the material on that site is not me, I just play the guitar for them, joined a few weeks ago...) you obviously havent listened to much of the music you are so closemindedly and blatantly labeling there
oh, and all your favorite bands suck And I hate it even more when pretentious alternative rock "audiophiles" bash other music because they feel it is inferior. You know, there is nothing more pure than field recordings, the true sound of nature, the music of the world. Your music sucks.
At least sounds from musical intruments are not just sine waves! bah
I'm in the unusual position of still respecting Trent Reznor for the most part (except for the cliched bush-bashing) but having no interest at all in his new music. Giving away music for free and trying out new things is great, but it would be even better to give away for free music that is actually worth paying for. Ah well, at least he's better than others of his generation who're currently making bad music AND trying to sell it (and sell out). As for electronic music, Radiohead is as far as I will stray from music with conventional instruments (not far, I know, although I still think Kid A remains their most coherent start-to-finish album). For ambient music for its own sake, I gravitate toward NIN instrumentals (pre-Ghosts), soundtracks, etc. Just not interested enough to find bands that do only that. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qwe10iDlFQo&feature=related
(ignore the video for a moment) and tell me the same again. I posted my reply to the above aforementioned rant in the FitzQuake Minimum System Requirements thread by accident yesterday (#34) and incidentally it too was Aphex Twin...
At the end of the day we all know what Bambuz means, but he's not really being fair to a culture as broad as this... Shit badly put together electronic music will always be shit and badly put together( possibly a hit tho), but there will always be some truly beautiful examples too! Sielwolf - SRV = God!! (+ now he has the vibe of a dead rock start ;P ) This could turn into a habit, so I'll stop after these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBA0SKmQy8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGooQ8yYC0c :-D your latter post.
Aphex Twin tones don't form melodies and the rhythms don't sound nice either, almost random. Modern demoscene music is like that too. Hyperactive hihat hitting punctuated by an occasional BOOOOM (usually with clipping). I grant it's different from the usual steady beat dance music. Hard to judge if it's better. Gets perhaps the artsy points. It's like judging which art do you like more, a grid or random black and white splotches. Neither is exactly enjoyable. Radiohead's Kid A is exactly what I'm talking about too. "Let's put everything through a million filters so it becomes just a dull duuuuuuuuuuuuu sound and we get rave reviews from the press how progressive and deep we are." I've never even listened the whole album through, just heard it over at a friend's place back when it was new. I like some of the earlier guitar melodies and singing of Radiohead but mostly it's just such whiny music that it doesn't offer much to me personally. One of my friends likes that kind of stuff (coldplay, mew etc). Chip tunes are probably the best electronic music I've heard so far. Well, there's also stuff like Jean Michel Jarre etc... The idea that there is actually some ambition with the composition and it's not just repetition or randomness. This is all of course a matter of taste and how I perceive things personally. I dunno man, I get off on all sorts of music.
If its shit its shit. I go out of my way to see bands who play in my town's bars. I get a real mixed bag, and sometimes theres only one venue which will put bands on, on a Friday night, and they only allow bands to play chart music, (old or new) of a completely sterilized nature. I go and see those gigs if I know the guys who are actually playing are shit hot, and can make it really good (which happens about twice a year :-| ) If im chilling out I can listen to anything as long as its sincere and either hypnotically intense or relaxing If im getting drunk I can listen to almost anything. Preferably rock music, but I really love some dance music too, I'm not into the really mainstream stuff with overly produced/processed female vocals, and the same shitty bland melodies/filters as all of the other similar stuff, but heavier dirty dance music is usually good or anything that just rocks. I like Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Kid A = bizarre. Completely new style of music, a little over complicated in places, a little too spaced on others. The Bends = Much better! :-) i fucking love soulless repetitive crass loud electronic dance music with simplistic derivative melodies/pads & no singing. and i'm not ashamed to admit it 8)
it's like the musical equivalent of fast food. it may be cheaply created, lazy & lacking in nutrients but it tastes fucking great ;D don't get me wrong, i'm all for computer-is-an-instrument, but i'm totally against 'soulless repetitive crass loud electronic dance music' - and a lot of music is like that (house a year or so ago... :/)
Coldplay, as far as I can tell, is just a pop-based ripoff of Radiohead's style around the time of The Bends. I'm not interested in them whatsoever.
I guess there's no way to convince you that Kid A and The Bends should be enjoyed in two different ways. One's a rock album, the other's a trippy, weird sonic space (my god I sound pretentious - this from a guy whose favourite band has been Alice in Chains for almost 5 years). Even if you aren't interested in "How To Disappear Completely" and "The National Anthem," the follow-up Amnesiac seemed like less of an overall album, but it had better songs (to this day "Pakt Like Sardines in a Crush Tin Box" is one of my favourite songs.) I realize that there is too much of a split between critics (if it's boring and pretentious, it's good) and the masses (if it's shallow and stupid, it's good), and therefore critics will rave over anything remotely weird/pretentious. But, not much you can do about it. megaman: I could imagine that music to be fun for dancing. A lot of fun actually.
And I love these pieces of 'soulless repetitive crass loud electronic dance music': Ticon - We are the Mammoth Hunters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okAVHN2jZfM Just like Project Balance - Tranceferia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3eNrdmsJF4 (bad sound) Very monotone and repetitive and stompstompstompstomp. For me these are full of soul and emotion. It is ALL a matter of taste. PS: Eurodance rules ticon.. good call! although that's one of their weaker tracks imo. i love back to basic, in the dirt, some simple sounds, rip it up, spincycle.. plus loads of stuff from other scandanavian prog-psy acts like human blue, vibrasphere etc.. probably my favourite sound at the moment. pretty much everything john 00 fleming has been playing recently too.
i was a little tongue-in-cheek in using the soulless term.. tis indeed a matter of taste. a couple examples of (what i consider) soulful/emotional dance music: http://play.saikosounds.com/m3u/091/59.m3u http://play.saikosounds.com/m3u/07b/a3.m3u although in a club i'm more likely to lose it to something like this: http://play.saikosounds.com/m3u/095/9e.m3u Subcouds or astral projection would experiment a tiny bit with the rhythms it could be music. Or some of the newer things. I listen to it occasionally when doing something else.
It's like they force themselves inside this very very narrow cage. A very small subset of electronic "music" is actually music. I understand why the extremely repetitive stuff only happens with computers, no musician could be forced to hit the bass drum completely constantly for ten minutes like that, damn it, even a retard would get creative. So it serves some different bizarre purpose. Maybe generating some atmosphere. It isn't rhytmhic and doesn't generate any dancing urges with me. I like a lot of classical and folk music. As an example of a very simple rhythm track that gets me moving at the start of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fg-7Er5Tuc (Ignore the visuals) Good thing the definition of music is open to everyone, i.e. the individual listener, and not solely to all those elitist "professionals".
This is a forum with people cynical enough not to get worked up about my shit stirring. Internet reading comprehension is good.
bambuz you are obvioiusly biased. nothing to discuss here. dont like it - dont listen.
but your laughable 'insights' of what counts as music are just annoying he has the right to piss on what he doesn't like. I mean, surely we can all agree that there's way too much music which is absolute shit out there which shouldn't even exist, the question is simply - what music is that?
I'm all for free speech and I'm all for using it to say that things I hate wouldn't even exist in a reasonable world. Although I do like electronic music (a very mainstream, from the perspective of this board, style of it), I'm happy to see someone challenge this assumption. Pretentiousness is too strong of a force in Western society, people need to be able to say "Fuck that" and it's not just rednecks who do it. Too many intellectual and artistic trends are given a free pass because critics assume they don't understand. It's a service to society to bypass that assumption and just come up with a good old fashion "Fuck that." If the trend has merit people will be able to defend it. Too many intellectual and artistic trends are given a free pass because critics assume they don't understand. It's a service to society to bypass that assumption and just come up with a good old fashion "Fuck that."
That's very well put, and is going into my quotes.txt. Thanks! Can someone tell me, who played drums on Frank Zappa's Apostrophe' on the track 'Nanook rubs it'?
The wikip page for the album lists several drummers and doesn't specify for the track :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3pQZ5Y6pzU
No real reason for posting this except for the fact that it is one of the coolest things I have ever seen new is pretty good at least after first listening.
Intense conspiracy theories, war, death, destruction and corruption. Seems it tries to say a lot, which kind of fits the aggressive msical style. Maybe it will get tiring after some more listening. Try http://vidaloca.aplysia.net/VidaLoca.zip
Free soundtrack to some movie about latin subculture: http://vidaloca.aplysia.net/eng.html It's much more relaxed than Ugress but has a similar vibe. Anyone know what this music genre/style is called? thanks a lot, megaman! i'm into doing nin remixes at the moment, so you might want to check:
http://remix.nin.com/member/efdat from time to time... hopefully i'll get some more tracks done soon. http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3588350/Ritz_-__88_Guns_N_Roses_Full_Video_inc._Hi_res_cover

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=whXeb7Ohfkk&NR=1 I don't think much music has such 1) Ambition and intensity 2) Funky basslines nowadays. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jywD3fa66Ls

Ricky, wtf. What on earth is on that site that's ugly?! it's basically a black background with about 2 words on it. get off the drugs. plus didn't at least some people realise that this ongoing negativity and bitching and hate and ranting creates bad feelings and accomplishes nothing?
Trigger-On's website is nice and pretty, but the one you linked to is shitty and boring. Trigger-On's website is easier to navigate, the one you linked to is like a big ocean with no indexing.
Surely you are the one with the warped perceptions. it's basically a black background with about 2 words on it My point exactly. Trigger-Ons site actually has had a little bit of time spent on design. And functionality. So what you're saying is that a website which has any degree of detail and design, like an artistic theme is rubbish?!?!! Go fuck youself. Miserable wanker. Im not familiar with the rest of his work, but the track appears on the "Hybrid presents Y4K" (which is awesome) cd and I fell in love with it!
is always awesome. I have that mix too. If you want to download more of their DJ work, go to http://www.hybridized.org/ - good stuff there (try their older mixes).
You should definitely check out PQM - You Are Sleeping (PQM meets Luke Chable Vocal Pass): http://www.discogs.com/release/178510 Available on http://beatport.com Is nice, but.... god damn they would rock so much more if they worked in more noise and electro.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopIfdqFmBk gwill morris - time http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/house/track/109952.html daz, i have that CD :) i even bought the vinyl with david on it, although that was more for one perfect sunrise on the other side, which was one of my absolute favourite tunes from around that time http://www.dnbarena.ru/archive/index.php/t-13600.html
"Holy shit" (not all downloads work, I got it off File Factory) This is not your mom and dad's and little sister's sort of drum'n'bass. This is some serious shit.
Don't download it and come whining to me "awww my ears wanna puke" or "I can't get to sleep at night now". K. My singer is a wanker. He takes too many drugs. He's arrogant. He is almost 26 and he talks to his parents like I have never heard. He cheats women and friends.
His music sucks (I'm bored with it) I'm going back to METAL!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJ2pkqYrBo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOMZaegVTcc That was us a couple of months back. Sound reproduction is shit. Also the video is shit, but you get the idea. I'm the one with the red T-shirt. Oh well. Not to worry. More time for mapping. 3119 brushes on new project already, since E4M1RMX (wherever the hell that is). But it's too early for shots. Although there are 900 lights already in place..... that Gary Numan - Exile is seeming more and more impressive to me lately. What an awesome album (oh god it's over 10 years old now), so smooth yet so strangely evil. I've tried his other stuff but it's nowhere near as good.
You play well.
The singer sucks. Play metal, yes, definitely, but that kind of stuff seems to work nicely too. Ditch the glasses and be more in the front and man, take the stage. At least some people love your solos. Be there for them. About women. I thought the main reason for being in a band was to get laid after gigs. Seems that's why the long haired dude is in it. That's just the nature of the beast. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't have to make any sense. It's women. They rarely do. Now, if you're in a steady relationship then I guess avoid it but otherwise, well... Not that it's supposed to be especially glorious, I don't have first hand experience from it. Fucking so completely separated from love, closeness, judgment and equality, with drunken stupidity and fantasizing group mentality standing in for them. Also, I don't get binge drinking but I don't get a lot of things actually. I'll record you guys something.....
Also I fell out with my singer. My whole band actually. They were not telling me things they should have been, in a collective and calculated manor. To do with people fucking around with my friends. Also I dont get binge drinking. I dont get going out on an evening and pissing #50 up the wall. I just do it. Also rock and roll 'culture' is an ideology. A fairly absurd thing really. I mean we learned these lessons on the 70's man. The 'long haired' dude WAS the singer! And yes, he sucks. But even worse than just that - he walks around 'bigging himself up', bragging, and was very arrogant. And tactless. Not very good entertainment. A pub-band singer. At best. Naah, fuck man, I really dont know.... :P other band members wondered where I was and I couldn't get through the crowd. They thought I was a waitress.

Great stuff for you freeform lovers out there new q4sp map soundtrack (one of the set). it plays when player gets out of indoor section and sees the outdoor area the very first time:
http://pulsar.quaddicted.com/misc/PuLSaR-Wasteland.mp3 ...where can I buy a copy of this:
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/318761-01.htm (am liking the crude and relentless kicks on CD1) Tommarow (since today is now technically wednsday) i get to go to my first concert "blaze and ABK" its gunna be freakin awsome!
is still broken. Its weird because I can move it again, but the first and second knuckles have restricted movement. I can't quite make a fist.
Still it is improving.....slowly. I wont have to improvise any washing-up bottle caps as finger end, or worse... Killa - Listen to Metallica!!! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc3WR3robJo heard the new Opeth? It's fricking sweet, as good as anything they've done previously, although the symphony stuff on some tracks is a bit much. If only they had released their cover of Alice in Chains Would along with it.
Cos it's freestyle hardstyle hard dance shizzle, your bag I'd have thought. I've found it in french / dutch sites....might have to use one of those I guess. Those kicks are too phat!
Thanks for linking to that Pat Metheny guy, he's great!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02dZhhDICzQ For all you Englishmen & Women, this Sunday 8th in Brighton
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=58733426973 Playing Hard Trance going up to Psy-Trance. Starting at 4pm until 1am. Free Entry, cheap drinks! we got battered boost bars here. Also, battered creme eggs (seasonal). Also, battered haggis (cultural). Also, battered cheeseburgers (unforgivable).
you're not living in scotchland are you? I quite like my flat and don't want to have to move :(
seriously though, fucking love it here in Edinburgh. Everyone come up here and I'll meet ya. I don't know anything about psych-trance-house-music and I hope that isn't a problem. Shut ye' face. Damn southern fairy.
Actually, my housemate did have a deep fried pork pie yesterday. I was horrified... my mate ate 9 battered mars bars for a bet. One of the legendary "9 tasks of Rab". Apparently easier than the 9 big macs challenge though.
that was bad enough. Food isn't supposed to give you a hangover, but life found a way. By far the hardest task (of Rab) was listening to the James Blunt album "Back To Bedlam" back-to-back 9 times. I've never seen someone's spirit truly break before. The soul, crushed. The brain, scrambled. All hope, destroyed.
if Nietzsche was right, 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger', I fear for your enemies.
Grrrrrr. I need to find a way to persuade a friend to go to this....I'm visiting them in Glasgow, and this happens to be on: http://www.dontstayin.com/uk/glasgow/braehead-arena/2009/feb/14/event-193417 perfect timing, but they're all like "meh, too hardcore, full of neds" etc etc and other such gayness.
Hmph!!! Don't see Uberdruck listed as playing, which is a crime looking at the other artists!
As for your friends, drugs are the key! Neds, lol. Not heard that for a while :) Drugs have been mentioned as the way forward (for them not me).
Yes there looks like plenty of cheeze there but also MOH arena + Mark E.G., nuff said. Seen Mark E.G.
He's a'ight, but bit too hardcore for my tastes. Know nuff people who rate him tho, so each to their own. And yeh, a fine mix of mdma, speed and mebe a cheeky dab of charlie and they'll be loving it... Love this guy, seen him live twice a few years ago and NEO and CYPHER respectively (Sanctuary music complex FTW!) and he really is just a total nutcase.
A thing that stuck in my mind was that no one really liked a tune he put on so he ripped it off the deck and proceeded to smash it against his head and then put the remains of the vinyl into the fridge (!) behind the dj stand. I think that really sums him up :) For the progressive trance crowd, this is a nice little album being given away for free by one of Brighton's finest.
http://www.rocky-music.com/ They are also hosting an event this Saturday in Brighton called ULTRA SONIC, more details here http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=45647247774 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9AvK-Cq_eQ&feature=related
You could definately play Quake to this, but better just listen. I'm not usually the biggest fan of squeaky Lite Metal, but yup, I can actually imagine Quaking to that.
RickyT23 the link you sent me the other day i listening...
zomggg is worse that i thought... zomggg :\ random bringing up of Gary Numan's "Exile"
I'm sure I brought this up some other time before but what an amazing album. Warped biblical prophecies, the apocalypse, faith, sexual attraction, murder, blasphemy, and revolution: it's all there. This makes me think, if it hasn't been done in this thread, a top 10 albums list. I posted it practically everywhere else so why not here too...
Next weekend (Saturday 11th) is a big rave which we are organising in the fields near steyning (south coast england) playing mainly Psy-trance and trance/hard trance and the following day from 4pm onwards at Hectors House in Brighton is Psychadelic-Sundays free entry and cheap drinks all night long! Everyone that can make it is welcome and we would really appreciate the support of this new night in Brighton! I'd like to officially champion anti-social metal, industrial, and grunge, in the face of any kind of music that draws women to it like moths to a bright light, etc - why - because I'm an ass.
Sorry, I share far too much with Lovecraft to be psychologically healthy. Anyway yeah (perhaps this is better put in the drunk thread, but then, so are most of my posts) - he who is provided with female approval and whose survival in life is mostly due to external evolutionary approval ('sex'), as opposed to internal emotional cowardice (that is, the sheer stupidity to believe that "this can't be what there is" and that one "deserves" something not-this) - is a fool. May Shub-Niggurath grasp, spit and spew for many more aeons than I am around for. Psy Trance? Hard Trance? What is this madness.
We got a free party up in Hull with DnB/Dubstep/Reggae/other real music same weekend, all weekend. Good luck with yours DaZ :D apparently this is a rare perspective, BUT
to derive arbitrary pleasure from a physical act is retarded - even though it is also the only way. And I, an alcoholic, say the same about what I do, as it is equally appropriate to say of as those who chase women like the orbit of the moon. We are all stupid monkeys chasing a fix. Insert disclaimers, apologies,concessions to the idea that getting arbitrary pleasure from females is a real value - etc. Insert those many preemptive apologies, here. Not a fan of real music then I guess!
Maybe you like this better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCgX4ixCRcQ i like the ska music, is there any bands that sound like mr.bungle early demos? any suggestions?
Insert those many preemptive apologies, here.
That's not what you're supposed to insert ;p But yes, I would claim that sex is a more directly pleasurable act that other addictions (which tend to be more escapist pleasure), however, this obviously doesn't apply equally to womanising (which is what you're getting at)... but nevertheless it comes down to deriving a "good" ("pleasurable"?) chemical 'experience' from some physical circumstance. I realize how retarded it is of me to complain about this, but when someone champions a philosophy other than nihilism I believe it will become clear that my view, despite its whininess, is technically unassailable.
AC/DC with bag-pipes does it for me.
Here's some aussie rock - Kram from Spiderbait http://home.sbs.com.au/rockwiz/past/279/Kram As far as hard rock goes.. AC/DC, Eddie Vedder, Veruca Salt, Magic Dirt, FNM come to mind. I kind-of hate Dave Grohl... but the Foo Fighters have some nice power riffs too. Hard ass stuff like Metallica and Tool... meh. Benediction
Entombed Carcass Bolt Thrower On the top-tip front, Bolt Thrower's "And Those Once Loyal" album is really rather good, as riff-tastic as anything they've done. Sole & The Skyrider Band Remix LP
Vibesquad - Basslove CunninLynguists - Strange Journey Vol. 1 Joy Division discog (I watched 24 Hour Party People a'ight?) Mr. Lif - Welcome To The World Yeh, mostly hip hop. But nice downbeat shiznat rather than thug crap. Also loooooove, love will tear apart agaaaaaaaaain! I bought Proteus new album "Nature of the beast" and found this absolute GEM on it.
Proteus & lab 4, zomg! http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/hard_dance/track/692206.html OMG ! Hard Core Techo ! Sounds like first Prodigy Album... but more aggressive :)
That rocks !!! will be on here...cos im looking at it :O or atlest i think i am
http://www.rbrecords.kit.net/release.html I already have the Nine Chip Nails 8-bit Tribute album. what I am looking for now is the new 8bit Perfect Drug track, in mp3 format, thanks
Does someone have the track Delerium - Symbolism? I just need to listen to it once to verify it is what it is so something along preview quality is perfectly fine (64kbps or whatever). It seems to be rather rare.
The 1997 reissue of Morpheus.
http://www.discogs.com/Delerium-Morpheus/release/83138 Spirit: requires more listens, that will make you like it, first listen is boring cacophony. it is post punk, Joy Division followers.
I don't believe for one minute that's you, Negke :P
This week I have mostly been listening to progressive house, and Carcass, again. Spirit: The Horrors - Primary Colours; I was talking about whole CD/album, not about the one song only (which is arguably the weakest on the album)
Vondur: stoner sludge drone doom? wow, sounds heavy, Void must be full of this noise check if u dare
http://www.southernlord.com/mp3/Sunn%20O)))%20-%2002%20-%20It%20Took%20the%20Night%20To%20Believe.mp3 http://www.southernlord.com/mp3/smiler.mp3 http://www.myspace.com/electricwizarddorsetdoom - dunwich, satanic rites of drugula http://www.myspace.com/acidking - electric machine http://www.myspace.com/earthofficial "Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion" by Eluveitie. Just bought it tonight. Folk metal type stuff. Seems a lot more subdued than the last album, though I am only a few songs in.
Samples from the previous album here: http://www.emusic.com/album/Eluveitie-Slania-MP3-Download/11146929.html nice musics there, you probably know, but still, i'd recommend you Enslaved, they're gods of proper viking metal
http://www.emusic.com/album/Enslaved-Isa-MP3-Download/11185637.html track Isa, for example and the rest http://www.myspace.com/enslaved Some beautiful ambient to sleep to:
http://www.capturedspace.org/music/frequentsync/ http://www.materializm.webs.com/
The XIZM releases are great mellow drum'n'bass. New album from Alestorm, "Black Sails At Midnight". This is the pirate metal band. Grab a flagon of mead and sing along. :)
http://www.emusic.com/album/Alestorm-Black-Sails-At-Midnight-MP3-Download/11439490.html Brilliant idea lol.
Although it does sound a lot like a pantomine version of old Iron Maiden. You know, I might have to get it though. There's something a bit irresistable about it... For me Mastodon's Leviathan album better capture the pirate spirit even if it's built around Moby Dick and not actual pirating.
Not really my area of music, but after being recommended Leviathan many times, I was very impressed when I finally checked it out.
That pirate metal sounds truly horrific. Novelty, aye. Quality, nay. The gigs are probably full of fat nerds. ...the pirate metal CD. Sorry but....well....I think I just had to :P.
I've also found a couple more death metal CDs that have tickled my fancy: All Shall Perish - The Price Of Existence: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Price-Existence-All-Shall-Perish/dp/B000G75AEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1244371259&sr=1-1 (also quite tempted by their slightly cruder and more brutal Hate Malice Revenge (which sounds quite a lot like Baphomet, no bad thing): http://www.amazon.com/Hate-Malice-Revenge/dp/B000QZVA6M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1244369659&sr=8-2 ) Kataklysm - In The Arms Of Devastation: http://www.amazon.com/Arms-Devastation-Kataklysm/dp/B000CSULU4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1244369966&sr=8-7 Its pirate metal ffs! Super cheesy to the max with cheese on top. Love it!
I have also had Leviathan recommended to me several times. I have that album and "Remission" here as well, they haven't really grabbed me yet though. I'm sure I'll come back to them eventually. Shambler, thanks for the recommendations, I don't have those particular albums available to me (I only buy stuff through emusic these days) but I have bookmarked the artists for later consideration. In particular Kataklysm interested me ("Prevail" was the one I listed to briefly). http://www.digital-diamonds.com/home.html is a nice netlabel with techno/trance/progressive/house kind of sounds.
then u just might like Public Image Limited;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BGi8u8BtaA its like punk you can dance to, but when other people hear me listing to them they give me strange looks
The internet is full of video game covers but this guy instead sings reviews of games of old and he does it rather well I must say:
http://jonathanmann.bandcamp.com/ That Alestorm CD is ace. Great fun, well produced, and some well catchy pirate stuff on it. I've had to order the other one too lol. Nice one fribulisor.
New Sage Francis mixtape. Good shit.
http://download.epitaph.com/index.php?file=%5Cweb%5Csickofwasting.zip (underground/indie hip hop in case you were wondering) negke, grab that Ott set:
http://www.autonomousmusic.org/downloads The server is terribly slow and the music is zipped but it is worth it. The Pitch Black set should be great too, dunno about the others. I saw Ott play live in Richmond VA a few months ago. His set was fairly similar to that gnomelandia one, though I think he played longer. I talked to him for a bit after the show, quite a nice fellow, he showed me his setup - he was using two of those Korg tactile surface thingies for extra live beats and melodies, in addition to the obligatory laptop+mixer+ableton.
Before I ever played Quake, my favorite 3D game was Mechwarrior 2, which had an amazing ambient-tribal-orchestral soundtrack. It's been so many years, but I finally found it: http://timur.iserver.net/mw2/ http://b19.org/music/JeehunHwang/ 1st link has individual mp3's, 2nd has more complete zipped albums. I also just discovered, while digging the above links up, that the game's composer, Jeehun Hwang, also did the music for the Hipnotic and Rogue Quake mission packs! So it is said in this interview: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov98/articles/jeehun.htm Since there seem to be several versions of the Mech 2 soundtrack, let me just add that the one I specifically remember from my misspent youth, and probably the best anyways, is:
http://b19.org/music/JeehunHwang/MW2-pentiumEd.zip It's so epic. I probably made some of my first quake maps listening to this, now it's come full circle, bwahaha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp3YXZ7y7Fw&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebloglines%2Ecom%2Fmyblogs%5Fdisplay%3Fsub%3D62421637%26site%3D14737824&feature=player_embedded
Istari Lasterfahrer... one of my favourite djs. Just bought the Alestorm - Black Sails at Midnight CD&DVD edition two times (one as gift for a friend). Thanks again Fribbles! Best Metal album since Ziltoid the Omniscient for me.
PS: I laughed each time the "this song is called pirate song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4eM3W6zVmY
Dark and evile dubstep remix of a Mistabishi track made of the noises from an epson printer. Also, phat. a very rough cut mono track I just layed down for crack....
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7b707b8ff2975c17d2db6fb9a8902bda HEAVY METAL !!!!!!!! YE-AH! For negke:
http://www.jamendo.com/album/48329 Nebulist - Infected Wisdom experimental breakcore idm drumnbass psychedelic drumandbass space jazzcore hardcore jungle Spirit: Dunno, seems a bit random (yeah, experimental). Will have to listen to it in its entirety some time.
Othersbler: New Fexomat metal mashup mix, posting it because this must be somewhat of a record - more than 80 tracks in 30 minutes. http://nsf.dnb-music.com/sounds/Fexomat/Fexomat_MashpitMassacre.mp3 'Pon the dl.
Zinc did a dnb mix, 82 tracks in 5 minutes: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=dj+zinc+5+minute+mix&meta=&aq=f&oq= This week I have been particularly liking Gojira - The Way Of all Flesh This board is awesome. We are a bunch of smart, sensitive, white guys. I'm curious as to what people would rate as the best music groups they've ever heard, after what is in my case 11-13 years or so of messing around in Quake levels (I did it for 2 years with Doom/Duke3d before Shambler was kind enough (and I mean that for real) to tell me that what I was releasing was not sufficient quality)... and obviously, great music doesn't change year per year... but we've all been around a decade or so... and that's occasion for some observations.
Anyway, given those disclaimers, I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm picking music from different eras, and that I'm picking it for its quality. Here goes: the obligatory awesome ones:
Joy Division - Who could be weirder or more atmospheric than them - ye who think so, provide me with a track equivalent to "I Remember Nothing" or even worse(I mean better) "The Eternal." Fields of the Nephilim - "At the Gates of Silent Memory" - this is impressive - though "Last Exist For the Lost" and "Darkcell" are similarly great NIN - the MOST obvious - "The Downward Spiral" "Ruiner" "Hurt" and ETC. Alice In Chains, (Dirt, JAR OF FLIES), The Doors, Black Sabbath, even early Metallica, Nirvana, MAD SEASON a lot, Radiohead (some), The Tea Party (Canadian), OPETH (uhh.. probably the best band I've heard), actually yeah my idea of the perfect band pretty much ends with opeth (who covered alice in chains), except with a female lead singer (add in that staley/junkie aspect)... anyway...
The Tea Party... hell yeah! :D
One of my old favourites, they were pretty popular here in Australia. That guy is amazing!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suy6MGUxcis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXb8cgPoZLc Also this tune by Steve Vai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xin88wpBWRI there was a great new hardcore aussie act on abc2 last month doing a fairly big live show. Do you know who they are ? Death music isn't really my scene, but they f-in kicked arse. Singer had a couple of inches of black(?) hair.
A few artists that come to mind...
Gov't Mule http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf0BNlYY_RA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_kkbdBln0A Live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvBFbtQ1NwM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAMnjzU-6UQ Social Distortion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhC0231FRA8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0DP9VDYJNI Nickelback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usQhrIngzo8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boPAgl8WG1A The Ataris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6sxmWILUsI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFlix0_ya_M Mofro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecp-nD5aXIs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvxJRzJvwbQ Sarah McLachlan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWxzM9_gEo0 Also, Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew (pirate hip-hop ftw) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_s2ripz7xA Metal:
The God Machine Bolt Thrower Carcass Primus Pantera (in pretty much that order) Hip-hop: Swollen Members Aspects errr....I'll do electronic music another time. "Always on my mind" by Tiki Taane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3euc9pmst4M
If you are in NZ you're probably very sick of it by now :-) Listening to their first album (thx Pope!) and I must say while it gives me a Silent Hill vibe, which is a good thing, my favorite song is Adaptation of the Koto Song, which is just a cool, smooth piece of music that reminds me of winter. Awesome shit.
I really didn't enjoy Invaders, or the album they did before that, I forget the name.
The Prodigy I knew and loved is dead =( Was crap for me (can't even remember the name). Invaders has some good tracks on it - Take me to the Hospital and Thunder come to mind. But there's none of the long drawn out pieces like Voodoo People or Climbatize.
In fact all the songs seem too short to be Prodigy, coming in at under 4-5 minutes. The sort of length I'd associate with pop music. Prodigy fell for the loudness wars. Listen to their new stuff with that in mind and you might see. I liked Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned but never could listen to it as much as Jilted. One day I saw the waveforms...
What DaZ said but for me the album is still alive and great. So relaxed and yet so damn powerful. :) http://alesis.com/micron
and its AWESOMEEE http://www.mediafire.com/?mydluzzgjgn
He did another mix earlier in January, I can't find it though, but it was well nasty, makes the Cativo 666 mix look like LTJ Bukem ;) Is this the other mix? http://dnbshare.com/download/TheGambitonDisfunktionalRadio29.01.10.mp3.html
and, well, the mix has some hard beats and all, but it's missing the actual dnb. Somehow feels like a random mashup of high-bpm samples.
Gonna search for that January mix. http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/deck?track=SSDARK002-1
This is murderrrrration, absolutely wicked. How to have ruffness without nonsense. sort of bummed about the bioshock 2 ads on pitchfork these days.
Its getting harder each day for me to decide whether there is a line, and if they have crossed it. then again, whatever. I came across this;
http://www.fwonk.com/FW037.html Lost Beats EP from Invaders Must Die - so THAT's where all the real tracks went. The Big Gun Down is a great track.
Thanks for the link, I listened to it today on the train and enjoyed it a lot. Not really sure how to describe it, kind of zone out / late night music.
This is pretty cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qciVXUHTN10 - check out the song performances.
Listening on thesixtyone (http://www.thesixtyone.com/ if you're interested--lots of cool not-so-well-known music).
Awesomeness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UvzD4gZnw4 Buying the CD now. negke
Cool stuff, I never heard of him before (I don't think...) but I'm at the edinburgh festival every year! pjw Kinda reminded me of RATATAT, if you haven't watched this video, do, it's awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk8qcGOtBFw Yes, those are clips from Predator. thank you so much for posting that. gorgeous.. the first track especially. definitely bookmarking this for a proverbial rainy day :-)
And here is some sunshine: http://www.jamendo.com/album/63395
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/371867-01.htm?highlight=SWOLLEN MEMBERS ARMED TO THE TEETH
You MUST get hold of Swollen Members - Armed To The Teeth. It is fucking fantastic. Swollens' previous albums (Balance, Bad Dreams, Heavy, Monsters In The Closet & Black Magic) have all been great but this is the next level for sheer dopeness. The beats are so PHAT they make Sloper look anorexic, and then you get to track 13 - Flyest and holy fucking bass it's outrageous (don't listen to this unless you have a good system it's a waste). Only downside is that the lyrics are less creative and more gangsta than before but the sheer phlava and catchy choruses make up for it. It's pretty much like Swollen have incorporated the best bits of Ludacris and Eminem. I've just started the 4th play of the CD in a row....just get it okay. That was copied off another forum so change "Sloper" to "CZG", they're both fucking lardarses ;)

Quite Quakey except for the singing, which isnt all Quakey but some is. Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me. When sin's deep in my blood, you'll be the one to fall That's Quakey! Irrelivant really, the tune is just awesome. kinda funny for me to say this as a canadian but that band sounds way too North American for me. My favourite band now is Opeth, much more intellectual, laid back, as far as metal goes.
Because by your own ommission you are from N.A. lol. I would have though "too emo" or "singer sounds too much like Axl" or somethng like that.
Maybe its like me saying I dont like the Arctic Monkeys (which I dont) because they sound too much like they are from the north of England (which they do). Still eh, North America is a BIIIG place with a L00T of bands. yeah I know bad choice of words lol
Axl Rose can go to hell btw, listening to him bitch about Cobain makes me feel good about the music industry (not because Cobain was a good musician, but because Rose - "so badass" - couldn't understand why his commercial shit was falling to anti-commercial shit). Alice in Chains, to me, sounds VERY North American - a lot of repression, stupidity, hard drugs, bad choices. I still love them. Opeth sounds very european - sophisticated, sober (at least from the hard - and I do mean HARD, see AIC - drugs) long enough to be mournful. As a North American I appreciate that our addiction and stupidity can make great music, but I envy the intelli9gence of Europe still. with me and steve and rick who is our bassist.
That means we have two Steves and two Ricks. Watch this space :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHGaBzQwGAs They are pretty darn good methinks. Quite trancy. A bit like Red Sparowes but with a female vocalist, violin player and less distortion. I never got the appeal of Mega Man but this is nice: http://megabeardo.blogspot.com/p/download.html
For grahf and other psyheads: http://www.multiplex-records.de/Releases/VA_-_Northward_Direction_Vol_2-2010.rar
Very uplifting and dancey psytrancish something. Free! so this is like, a whole label full of underground progpsy. crazy. seems like good dj material for that style, maybe i'll practice some long transitions with it...
right now i'm quite entangled in the free works of mauxaum, greg hunter, and master margeurita:
http://cloudcycle.net/ http://bakshish.me/wp/ http://dubsahara.com/ all great offbeat ambient chill. Some fantastic tracks on this one http://www.ektoplazm.com/2010/cyandroids
Full ensemble this time, mostly metal.
Its practically an EP! Except for the fact that its just 1 take per track, recorded with 1 shit condenser mic (in mono, obviously), just at a practise. Rough as hell, and the vox are quiet, but i naturally think it sounds awesome :) http://www.mediafire.com/?51o4zl3xaiz I play guitar, and occasionally murmer something into the mic (my freind Steve (good old steve) wrote all of this except for one track which is obviously a cover, I just play it live, although i did write a few of the accompaniments) So, uh, seems you guys know your stuff and all, but the recording quality is really bad so one can hardly make out anything really. Vocals are almost inaudible, bass and high hats too strong. Needs proper rec equipment/mastering or at least better volume tuning of each component, garage-style. Tetris ftw, though.
I know :)
Seriously I just used an old Fostex 8track into one channel with the internal condenser mic. On a chair, right infront of the guitar amps :) Slight change of pace (and since no-one ever posts musical shiznat). Bluegrass.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBeivizzsPc Heh, that's cool. Listening to it atm. Quite like Buck 65's mid-career stuff (Talkin' Honky Blues) except more with slightly more focus on the bluegrass.
Mehh, it's ok.. but i'd hoped it'd have a bit more humping dub rather than reciting the whole radio monologue over a miss-mash of sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNUTYHJrutw
All about the beautiful re-mastering of the jackson 5 track in the background (the bass boost on the horn is lovely). And Kurdt just sounds so damn cheerful ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T07mcQzmjoc
"This day's grim, it's raining, what wonderful weather for gaming. The sun's blazing, so let's stay in, it's wonderful weather for gaming." can anyone recommend any decent sites similar to jamendo? i shared my album on there and it's getting a surprisingly high amount of downloads & feedback so thinking about spreading the love a little bit. it's on myspace as well but with barely any hits
I highly recommend http://soundcloud.com
If you want I could ask the Ektoplazm(.com) guy if he has a netlabel recommendation where you could "apply" for a release. I don't know any netlabel for music like this. Hearted your album earlier, then some day it was gone and I meant to ask you about it. I really love it. i took it down because they omitted the last track when approving it (falsely believing it was a cover because it had '(reprise)' appended to the title) and it's pretty much the most important track on the album! i've put it back up now though in its entirety. thanks for the comments either way :)
forgot about soundcloud; i added it on there too, although it hasn't seen that many plays. i know almost nothing about netlabels though so if you could drop that guy a line then that would really be appreciated. i'm thinking of moving in a slightly darker more psychy direction with future stuff so getting on ektoplazm could work out well. doubt i'll get anything put out before RMQ is finished though... cheers for the recommendation ricky, will check them out! another is http://magnatune.com/
btw, can I check out your album on jamendo? (I'm not sure how to find it :-) weardo but nice
http://www.youtube.com/user/BeatRapist#p/a/u/0/f1u9YnCUFyQ and I hate these new sounds!!! Mellow ambient lovers who like to buy CDs might want to checkout the Absolute Ambient sale at http://www.triskelemanagement.com/promotion/absamb/absolute.html
I own Absolute Ambient Vol2 (planned to sell it to some moron who spends more than original price for CDs, well, I guess I can forget about that...) and loved it some years ago. Haven't heard it in ages though because there is so much perfect ambient available for free that I do not see any reason to listen to the commercial stuff anymore. Any stuff that sounds similar to the EVE Online soundtrack or Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble? Seems to be the only kinds of ambient I like, but boy howdy do I like it.
So old Metallica albums are remastered (let ne guess, VERY LOUD?) and they come on SHM-CDs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHM-CD SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) is a CD format that features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. (...) allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. Amazing! Sounds like they could have simply printed those new CDs, without remastering, and they would sound better than ever! http://cosmichearse.blogspot.com/2010/10/slow-ride.html
This is taken from cosmic hearse, and that site is fucking great if you are into metal/punk/hard to find shit Thaurorod. I don't know too much about Metal styles but I guess this is some sort of epic power metal. It's melodic and massive. There are some old demo songs on Youtube when they had a fantastic singer. Their album has another voice, it's much different but I do like some songs anyways.
The old ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lmsP58rJpU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYksSv82WAo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0udAPxsujtU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtMHHC5MgSs That second tune you linked it pretty cool. And the band seems to have a really mental drummer. I just dont like the keys.
Wow, a new level of youtube suckiness. "
This video is not available in your country. Learn more. Sorry about that." but even without any mention of any meta info. What title did you mean to link? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z25DSLcjAU&feature=related
That other video was on the channel NirvanaVEVO. Miserable twats! Ha, funny you mentioned BeatRapist on Youtube. I play guitar and we did a little collaboration :)
Here you hear me play over one of his tracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p65PpF_2S34 Is there anything else like The Prodigy's Music for the jilted generation? Their new albums are so damn LOUD. Also I like the slow builtups of MFTJG.
Yeah, should have said it. Their older stuff is too rave/hardcore like for me. If you like that, try http://www.xdump3.se/release.php?id=8 (some more "Jilted" tracks on this too).
http://www.brainkiller.it/vol1.html
It's a compilation by fans. And I only just realized there are four volumes now. I really really love this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxYWSInOgg8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1YABGdai5k
Don't press backbutton immediately - It's not what it seems! Cobain's bile and angst cuts through rick's terrible voice enough that it actually still sounds serious. Weird.
that is brilliant. possibly even better than this
...that back then most people didn't think that at all. He was cool as far as I remember. Same for these fucking dance steps...
But indeed, in the remix I like him a lot :) Okay then, tresses:
http://www.pjwnex.us/media/images/um/hairywtf.jpg http://www.pjwnex.us/media/images/um/helicoptergirl.jpg http://www.pjwnex.us/media/images/wrong/piercings.jpg To actually contribute to the thread, I had never heard Danielia Cotton until recently, but...damn. Great voice and sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2JiFCIyzNo& Been listening to a lot of:
Behemoth - Evangelion Behemoth - The Apostasy Heavy, refined, brutal, epic blackened death metal. These guys owned the Terrorizer Awards 2009 and it's clear why. Kataklysm - In The Arms Of Devastation Kataklysm - Prevail Straight up no-nonsense death metal. Nothing out of the ordinary, they just do it very well. Also I've just ordered: Gorefest - La Muerte - catchy death metal with a vaguely punky Napalm Death feel. Immortal - All Shall Fall - shockingly catchy and well produced epic guitar black metal. Burzum - Belus - new post-prison album from the murderer Varg; dark, subdued, eerie black drone metal. Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus - just need more of the mighty Behemoth! http://www.prettylightsmusic.com
http://www.randomrab.net/sounds Both have been on repeat pretty much constantly. Did I mention free? Where is there free music on the first site? It just tells me to fuck off to shitunes. And the other wants me to register when I click on download :o
That was my reaction too. Instant loss of interest thanks to Flash and e-mail registration. I wish there were better definitions of free content online.
i've just downloaded several albums from each site without going to itunes or registering
one asks for an email to send the links too but that's all forgot to mention before i clicked submit, click on 'pl downloads' and each album has a direct download link
Spirit you are the worst human being that has ever existed in germany. That's right.
I didn't activate the flash on that one site, because nobody would be stupid enough to hide valuable links inside flash, right?
I'm still not giving them my email address, anyways. Or maybe my spam throwaway one. With most music one or two clicks away, do I care enough to register for potential spam? Doing a course in it. So far it has only threatened my family once, and killed one of my goldfish.
that wasn't in reference to your post ricky. i was getting at orwellian paranoia and technophobia associated with living in the past...
You fail at logic.
a) How you come to the conclusion that thinking that flash is shit means the person has technophobia is beyond me. The other way around, maybe. b) Let's assume that living in the past, as you call it, implies technophobia. That doesn't mean someone who has technophobia lives in the past. You should look up the difference between implication and logical equivalence. technophobia probably wasn't the right word, then. i didn't put a great deal of thought into that post and only made it to quell ricky's suspicions that the comment was aimed at him. i'm surprised you found it worth dissecting!
Yeah, I dislike flash, but I don't like to be called a technophobic or a person who's living in the past. Even though you didn't specifically say that I was either. I do take umbrage at the implication nevertheless.
I'm not a fan of flash myself, I use the click-to-flash Firefox extension, but I'm not virulently allergic either.
Random Rab did offer his music for free briefly to celebrate his US tour with Shpongle, apparently not anymore. Epic fail on my part there, didn't re-check the link. There's still a few free tracks on http://randomrab.bandcamp.com/ I don't understand the stigma against giving out one's email for free music. 99% of the time it's through a music distribution system called Topspin that virtually every smart musician is using nowaday to promote themselves. Recognizing that many people value music at zero dollars, they give away tracks for free to compete with piracy. Win-win. I have given out my email uncountable times to get free tracks. All it does is to sign you up for that artist's mailing list. Big deal. If I enjoy the music I'm getting then logically I will also be interested in hearing about what that artist is up to - new album, going on tour, more free stuff, etc. If you don't like it then you can just unsubscribe like all opt-in mailing lists. No big loss except about 10 seconds of your time. Pretty Lights is really good! Seriously. I think his music is free because he uses unlicensed samples. Its a bit dark and a bit cheeky, and it works for me. The first tune is fun but not prog enough for my taste, and the second tune was a it too simple too, and repetative. But that third tune is mustard. Groovey man, grooooovey.
brilliant! only partway through the second of four albums i downloaded but this is awesome. reminds me of avalanches a little
listened to three random rab albums too, good in parts but a little hit & miss overall. epicycle was my favourite cheers grahf! (double checks to make sure this is the music thread)
I just picked up a CD from Booker T, who has been doing this shit forever (forever being since the early 60s in this case), and I can't seem to stop listening to it. It was nominated for two Grammys, but had somehow slipped entirely under my radar until I heard a cut on Pandora, and it's some of the catchiest purely instrumental rock I've heard in a long time. Check this. Have another. but he definitely needs a new drummer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA6o4vq2ldU
I was about to drop this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUJ0IYZKLvE And ask if anyone else had seen the film yet? Pure class. But as a jazz-funk-rock band I would say that those links u posted are not bad. Traces of Red Sparrowes. I thin the main let down is the production. For me: 1 - they need to be mixed at a reasonable level, instead of trying to make it overtly loud. 2 - the drums are played really well but recorded very poorly and sounds like a sub-par kit. Needs more bass in the drums. 3 - bring the bass up a bit 4 - find a guitar that sounds as percussive but less dry. then i think it would sound better. /rant. With Omar & co:
http://omardigital.rodriguezlopezproductions.com/track/el-oyente http://omardigital.rodriguezlopezproductions.com/track/paper-cunts And haven't listened that much but some of his solo stuff seems really nice like this one: http://zachhill.bandcamp.com/track/the-primitives-talk I wonder if you could get Zach Hill and Brian Chippendale to play together without complete sound overload... That referring to me?
hm, need to think about it, never occured to me to think about the production yet. my mind is still trying to follow everything and see all the connections/patterns that might be in there. Rediscovered Sundummy's Mighty Voids Collide. Such gorgeous drone ambient.
http://www.archive.org/details/tzpdc19 Totally loved this (was there, tried to get to the front but it was a cram):

this can probably become a soundtrack for my new map. though it was written when I'd been completely drunk Anyone here a fan of stoner rock/metal? I've really gotten to love this type of music and listen to it almost exclusively nowadays, along with all the different sub-genres and influences like sludge and doom. Lately I've been digging Keelhaul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCx2UkZlbfg">Keelhaul
And I love me some psyched out stoner rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGcowf8adck&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz0BGyq8Utw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gQQ5p9J_Jk If you liked The Machine, I'd also recommend checking out Colour Haze, which they seem heavily influenced by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7QNffGb86I
Sungrazer is also somewhat similar, great band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAxFEJMbbvw Never heard of them 'til today (thanks for introducing me to them), awesome. Totally putting this tune on my Facebook. I like it because it's simple, I feel like I could join in on my guitar, but they play with really great energy.
They are definitely great. I've only listened to two-three of their albums myself so far, so I have alot more to go. Love their jammin' psychedelic tunes.

A friend of mine who went escaped my tiny town and went to uni. He used to sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4koQK8aJ0rM He's the at the far left with the guitar. Crazy ZitGroper
http://thecomputermagic.com/ of one of my favourite guitar based bands (mathrock?)
http://www.giraffesgiraffes.com/music (downloads embedded in the flash players, sadly) it's really fucking worth it. Maybe I recommended it already before but Sundummy - Mighty Voids Collide is a fine dark(soothing) drone ambient album
http://www.archive.org/details/tzpdc19 Oh yeah, just 23 (oh shit) posts above. Well, then let me suggest some rock(?) stuff: http://www.jamendo.com/album/90599 Music Box by The Nuri
could some one do me a favour and tell me, what is this?
http://audiotag.info/index.php
and it is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHgulPj3lVk cool eh?!?! had no idea you could search with an audio clip! i only found stuff where you had to hum the tune, and there's no way i could hum that. :P
thanks! :D ... phone discussion should have landed in Phone thread: http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60395
Here is some fantastic dark droning ambient: http://www.archive.org/details/KLLE-Crawl

Have some metal. Really like the progression in this track, you wouldn't believe it hearing the opening tho. So yeah, watching Never Mind The Buzzcocks just now something really struck me about our good old quake developers. iD in the early to mid 90's did for video games what The Beatles did for pop music. Both started off by creating polished, beloved works in the style of their chosen field. They then created innovative defining pieces which are the template for works produced today. In doing so they both pushed the technology of the day to new heights (even if what they did is simple to replicate now). Then each group split apart, and the solo works seemed to lack something...
I don't usually dig black metal, but that it really quite cool. But you are right - the start is very very heavy.
BLACK metal?? BLACK?? Are you mad?? That is proper modern death metal. Black indeed. N0000b!!!
is quite nice. the other one's a bit on the simple side for my taste, though.
After a very dry period where the only DNB cds available were mundane cheese, there have been 3 interesting releases at the harder end of things:
Current Value & Donny - Revolt & Riot http://www.juno.co.uk/products/revolt-riot/434220-01/ Brutal stuff by two artists at the cutting edge of harder dnb. Quite varied with a good mix of dnb rollers and mashed up techy stuff. Eye-D & DJ Hidden - Peer-2-Peer Pressure http://www.juno.co.uk/products/peer-to-peer-pressure/435902-01/ A current highlight from the guys who make up the well-established gabber act The Outside Agency. Having an "outside the scene" influence works well here with hard-hitting but fresh-sounding tracks that mix trancey melodies and effects with diverse punchy beats. Recommended. Dom & Roland - The Big Bang http://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-big-bang/435290-01/ Another totally consistent CD from the duo who steadfastly refuse to sell out. Perhaps a bit too consistent as it lacks the variety of Through The Looking Glass, but still makes up for it in quality techstep sounds. http://countercomplex.blogspot.com/2011/10/algorithmic-symphonies-from-one-line-of.html
interactive playground: http://entropedia.co.uk/generative_music/ a groove I made (needs macro changes over time now it just repeats): (t&(t>>t|t>>6)|t)+(t&t^t>>6)-t * ((t>>9)&(t%16?2:6)&t>>9) first term is meaninglessly complex.
t+(t&t^t>>6)-t * ((t>>9)&(t%16?2:6) &t>>9) does the same thing I started learning C++ for real, but i dont understand how that can make a noise at all.
I havent done >> (except for cin), ^, %, & or ? yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation
And loop outputs one byte as PCM-audio at the sample rate. I currently listen to this 5 hour Massive Attack mix and it is so nice:
http://weevil.pulsewidth.org.uk/massive.mp3 Tracklist: http://forums.di.fm/2569484-post8.html Does this mix do much to the originals? Looks like all their albums, with filler removed and a random order.
tell me someone here is into Opeth (if I haven't made this rant before).
Saw them last weekend, and while they've apparently outgrown the death metal thing (sigh...) they're one hell of a band... some of the most instrumentally brilliant, atmospheric stuff I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Kind of like Kell's favourite band, Fields of the Nephilim, except instead of just ambient dark rock, it's more metal/folk/jazz/prog-rock... and plus there's some loneliness in there whereas Nephilim is more just "this is fucked up." "The Night and the Silent Water" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD4u3TclUSs Some day in another universe I'll make a Quake map of that. And if you check that song out make it to the end... it has such a build-up. i have their blackwater park cd which is quite good. i liked them more when i was younger though. these days, i'm really not a fan of all that angry yelling. i can still totally appreciate their instrument skills though.
thanks for reminding me about them, btw. i just realized i don't have the cd rip in itunes... must have forgot when i was converting all my old stuff. O_o Well Necros you have the same POV as their main songwriter/guitarist Akerfeldt. They have apparently become a prog rock band.
I find it really sad and ironic, that I hated that evil screaming when I first heard it, and that prevented me from getting into the band FOR YEARS. Yet I finall get to see these Swedish bastards live, and god, that screaming, it didn't even happen once. I'd have loved it. that's pretty funny, but if they're trying to broaden their fanbase, i guess it's working as i'll probably go check their new stuff out now. :P
This is some odd funky stuff. Slow drums, guitars, and strange lyrics. Quite like proper Lynch style in musical form - or maybe it only feels to me this way because the name influences my perception. A bit weird and different in a Radiohead-, Anton Lavey-, PIL-ish kind of way (although nothing alike these). Or something. I like it.

havent heard it in ages, randomly came up. Crowd Control - Thor's Armpit. As ghost in the shell was being mentionned in game thread here is this related dubstep remix
Ghost in the Shell (feral dubstep remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=086Qgl8ZVws No idea why I never recommended this ambient gem before: http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=241

cybernetika have a remix of the hydroponics song from SS2. ^_^ Not sure I posted this, it is so good. Classic melodic goa trance. http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/trinodia-unknown-space
this isn't very new, but it's awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFVRoS-sL5c Listened to those last three... sounded a bit 90s/Fruity Loops-ish.
Here's a cool video clip I just saw on tv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I Heard this song last week and love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjncyiuwwXQ Great warm calm ambient http://www.archive.org/details/freefloatingmusic001
appreciate the thought spirit. to be honest i've been kinda phasing out my listening of trance over the past year or so; decided i needed a change and that my head had been stuck in the clouds for too long... although i still keep the odd mix on my sansa player for long train journeys so will give that one a whirl :)
misc assortment of favourite tunes i've been listening to lately: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 also i love that first track you posted kona! reminds me somewhat nostalgically of cheery '90s indie-pop Yeah I find myself jumping between genre's every day, I get sick of one genre quickly. So I jump between hiphop, electronic/dance, dnb, classical, downtempo/triphop and a bit of older rock and metal. Hiphop is what I mostly listen to, but you've got to wade through tonnes of shit. Rappers release stuff way too often.
Stuff I've been listening to lately. None of it is particularly new.

http://vileimbeciles.bandcamp.com/album/d-is-for-w Every time I listen to this album, I like it more than the last time I heard it. I love how eccentric the guitar riffs are and I'm pretty sure there are songs where all the members (5 during the recording of this album) are singing different things at the same time :) p.s. bandcamp is awesome! can stream the music for free, good prices, you can pay extra if you like the artist and you don't need any login or stupid bullshit. Also: http://comtruise.bandcamp.com/ First draft of Sleepdrive 2: http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/temp/spirit-sleepdrive2_20120429.ogg
Gonna add The Big Empty from http://archive.org/details/fbl005IveLost-DissociativeFugue too So far it is only 4 tracks I think. hard to comment on an hour of audio... kinda just left it playing in the background while i was mapping.
it's very relaxing though. That's the whole point though. :)
The first track is too annoying to me, I need to change it. Today in Music For NeGkE That Will Not Lead To Video Blockage On YouTube is http://archive.org/details/DAST034_LP__strehm_and_nadejda_going_to_stardom_-_fruelingsgefuele Super deep awesome minimal house techno something. New album by Arjen Anthony Lucassen is out! "Lost In The New Real"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHNaw_hkEeU awesome narrated video Hmmm that sounds pretty good spirit. I usually avoid this thread because it's always just metal that's posted here, but that's a bit more mellow. Is the rest of Arjen's new album similar to this?
http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/dub-mates-meeting
track 8. Loud and with a system that can do low frequency bass, so sexy. found some nice free darkish atmospheric ambient ambient again, [iD.059] Michael Hoffmann - Mind Trips (EP). The label's page is down but you can find it easily online.
Sequencing: FL Studio
Guitars and Bass: Old version of FL Slayer with a HUGE amount of tweaking to make it sound as little like FL Slayer as possible. Drums: FPC set with a commercial kit - I forget the source but that's why I paid for it, so I wouldn't have to. :P Vintage Synths: Wasp and Wasp XT mostly stock presets. Weird noises: Toxic Biohazard with all knobs randomized and/or heavily abused until something interesting happens Reaktor style. Eq and Mastering: mostly EQUO and Maximus It is really sounding like Slayer indeed.. Maybe missing a little bit of bass and saturation, but wow... :)
Cool, I've been messing around with FL Studio, I can't really get Slayer sounding right. As soon as you add drive to make individual notes stand out more it just fills with scratching noises :(
Any way you could share your settings for it? :E JPL: sounding like the BAND Slayer is desirable. Sounding like the overrated and overpriced VST Slayer, not so much.
ZQF: maybe if I ever actually finalize the settings I'll post the presets - but you'll probably be disappointed as they're not very different from what already comes with the program. The difference is that many of the controllers (damping, harmonic, pick position, feedback, etc.) need to be in constant motion because the minute you let a single one of them sit still, it starts to sound like a synthesizer again. Keep in mind that a real guitar has a good clean sound and all the effects that are added to it merely amplify and enhance that initial sound. Slayer is the exact opposite. When you remove all the effects from Slayer, you don't get a clean guitar sound. You get a Karplus string tone that sounds like absolute shite. So instead of a real guitarist showing off how awesome his Les Paul or Strat sounds with the pedals attached, a Slayer user is piling on a very delicate sequence of effects specifically to conceal the fact that the foundational sound completely SUCKS. Number stations are so damn awesome. I love having http://archive.org/details/ird059 (The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059]) in the background. Caught one myself randomly some weeks ago.
You stopped me listening to this:
http://www.gamescares.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=192:doom-64-soundtrack&catid=20:horror-game-music&Itemid=25 Doom64 wins on evil, although the number stations stuff is close on weirdness. http://zynomics.bandcamp.com/
Especially 'Da Fook' and 'Snazz'. Just love that sound. Like a Len Lye sculpture transformed into a giant robot. Many thanks to Vondur for making me check out Bohren und der Club of Gore, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zl5vpy__dQ is too damn cool.
Stone in focus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVot4w9Ukro i recommened you to play this all the time, in quake. NDAI! parallel suns
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCYTvpvSJ0M What a great soundtrack this would be in a new ID game. "Sighs in feelings" Would be shite to hear any more than the 15 seconds I had the misfortune to skip to. What dreary generic pointless drivel.
Saw the singer from this lineup in Penrith (believe it or not) when he was in another band called Killshot. I really like this, kindov grindcore stuff:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-omzu5y5Q (hopefully this will make up for the cheesy crap I exposed you to before......) Jeff Henneman is dead :(
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/slayer-guitarist-jeff-hanneman-dies-1866783 This band opened for Tool in Vancouver years ago but by the time we got into the ridiculously security-heavy show (I still resent the delays and invasive guard patrols) they had already finished playing. Anyway, finally checked them, sounds like a cross between Tool and Kyuss, awesome.
I saw that: Jeff died because of an infectious injury caused by a spider bite... not because of alcohol, not because of drug or whatever stupid things generally done by rock starts... It is incredibly sad :(
Rest in peace Jeff. Giving away CDs I made up of the best gabber I've ever owned. Just wanted to share the love for the good bits of an unpopular music form. Email me your address and I will burn and post one.
Details here: http://teamshambler.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/greatest-gabber-free-compilation-cd.html I have weird taste in music, not because I aim to be pretentious, I just enjoy finding different types of music.
And its FREEEEE. It's freeform/finrg style
https://soundcloud.com/finrg-recordings/substanced-geneva-part-ii-2 forgot to recommend you http://breathecompilations.org/logical-disorder-live-on-baumann-festival/ , probably too techy but with good bass it has some pretty damn fucking evil moments
i fucking love cloud cuckoo. good call
something on similar lines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbpmldASi0E dude... that first song has one badass sounding intro. I don't mind the guy's screaming either, lots of metal has the problem that a) the music is non-melodic and is simply fast, and b) I don't like the singer's particular style of screaming (major exceptions are Akerfeldt and the guy from Isis). this doesn't seem to have those problems.
sweet I am going to listen to more of these guys. I Love this kind of Doom-ish music intro... and to be honest, then when it start to be brutal, it is really well executed, not noisy as some other bands are.. really nice find !!
fucking awesome, somehow i missed the new rosetta album, which is available for free (but give them some money if you like it!)

From Cruciamentum, a blackened death band with lots of good lovecraft references. This is from their 2009 Demo, pretty easy to find and definitely worth the DL. This song is I think my fav, and it closes beautifully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wkW-o82BcE nuff said.
metallica fans, go see Through The Never! In Imax! 3D! It's basically a kick ass 3D live concert with dark musicvideo-ish snippets in between.
here is the best review of that album.

I quite like it. Has female vocals among others. Check out if you're open minded regarding music and like heavy stuff.
The group features Deftones' vocalist Chino Moreno and three members of the post-metal band Isis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k48nGiJuHao I'm not sure i like it. The vocals just aren't that good :-) But this showed up on my facebook feed and now I have listened to it maybe like a dozen times already.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-HvaBSVAU Love the vibe.
http://youtu.be/btlOziVohBc ...So have a metal version of the themesong:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEbgk4hdY4E Post the link to the Scott Lawlor thing you posted in #tf. Definitely like that, good proper cosmic chill-out dark drone style :)
Measuring The Immeasurable
maybe you like this, heavy stuff. Labeled important. SRF is mostly good, yeah. "soundtrack" from warpspaZm by mr.J are those bands sort of amateurish or what?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZCvbv9Opxo So much so that I've reorder the LTD edition double CD version... Relentless Carnage a classic!
The ikaruga soundtrack in anticipation of the full release...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDqJ_GqJ1PE Hey, this guy is good. :)
Music is free, so send him a couple of bucks. https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjOB3xrR0Zs Yeah - i got hooked some time playing a Donkey Kong Land game on a handheld emulator. Damn fine stuff.
That youtube vid just got me an interesting read about the fermi paradox:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox thanks, and where is everyone? Offtopic as far as it can get, nice tune nevertheless. "presumably, some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel"
Well - this is false. People just have no idea about the limits of technology. There will be no time-travel, no human like robots, and no interstellar space travel. Look at the outdated and narrow-minded caveman, isn't he cute.
Is the world still flat where you come from? I mean if we had enough thrust and a secure enough vessel, we could possibly travel fast enough through the vast emptiness of deep space, but if we could do it, wouldn't that kind of speed be enough to rupture the very fabric of our universe? Maybe it would leave such a devastating wake that it would obliterate our solar system, maybe even our entire galaxy?
Or else we'd run the risk of arriving a few billion years too late for it to mean anything in any way that we would be able to comprehend. Our feeble bodies and minds would not be able to sustain that kind of chaos... "According to calculations, the comoving distance (current proper distance) to particles from the CMBR, which represent the radius of the visible universe, is about 14.0 billion parsecs (about 45.7 billion light years), while the comoving distance to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.3 billion parsecs (about 46.6 billion light years),[1] about 2% larger."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe Siting Wikipedia there, not the source from which they have extrapolated this theory in some way. There will be no time-travel, no human like robots, and no interstellar space travel.
How do you know this? What's your point regarding the size of the observable universe?
Also, and I'm going to sound like a dick and / or grammar nazi, but it's driving me crazy: The verb is 'to cite' and not 'to site'. He knows it due to the perfectly correct and irrefutable knowledge of modern science...
<insert DERP here> no interstellar space travel
All technologies only exist inside the society they inhabit. Whether sending humans/aliens huge distances through space is possible (i believe it is impossible) is irrelevant. The societies will all have depleted their planet's resources/overpopulated to such an extant that chaos reigns, long, long before the technology is discovered. I saw "Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival" DVD last week. It's a great insight into the whole folk/hippy music culture thing. I grew up listening to my Mom's Baez/Dylan/PeterPaulMary records- but god Dylan made some awful music too. The societies will all have depleted their planet's resources/overpopulated to such an extant that chaos reigns, long, long before the technology is discovered.
Can you back that up with some, or is it pure speculation on your part? And even if that were true for the human race (I'm not saying it isn't), how can you be so arrogant as to apply it to all other forms of intelligent life? I just mean that if the size of the observable universe is 46 Billion light years across then if we could travel at the speed if light (which we might find pretty difficult), then it would still take billions of years to get anywhere....
With the I could say that it doesn't matter to try and go to the moon either. Or Mars.

from far far in the future, when superficial beauty standards have gotten so extreme over the centuries that we've all genetically modified ourselves into pale hairless twigs with gigantic eyes and forgotten what we ever were. the only way to save ourselves is to go back in time and collect specimens

Snowpiercer: Weird surreal movie about society. Nothing new, lots of clichees, bad script/acting, lots of stereotypes and the same old themes any movie/story critical of "our society" has had since the middle ages... Still charming and enthralling to watch. Warning, it is very long. Too surreal for my taste. we tend to forget.

Cybernetika is great and this is his 3rd psytrance n bass style album. I think he's really got the sound down now. FREE! "lost album"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPyrLRc-Zdg Yeah I should be mapping but it's more important to kill the pain right now. Was at the Roskllde festival the other day.
Saw The Rolling Stones. 70+ and still rocking!! What a great evening! ...Saw them @Circus Maximus in Rome.
Tight as fuck. Keef slacking a bit. Awesome choir intro to You Can't Always get What You Want. Two days before I even caught Black Sabbath in Bologna and they're still a crushing riff machine. Awesome!!! Nice summer start. Discovered Eliane Radigue today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGk9B9tzk0U

https://soundcloud.com/hybridsoundsystem/hybrid-album-five-teaser fuck wow! Is bucket in Spanish.
So maybe, instead of a cop hunting skinjobs Decker'd be a latrine cleaner who studies poop and finds out some of it is synthetic. Would probably not have as many romantic type scenes included. I fucking love Hybrid. They used to be my favorite band; the first two albums were absolutely fantastic IMO. Later ones are still great, but I like their early stuff more.

Alestorm's best is Black Sails at Midnight imo. That new stuff seems nice though. Couldn't stand Back Through Time. yeah yeah, blue man group and all, this is actually pretty nice
http://youtu.be/-0gED3rn2Tc Im in a band and just doing vox, this is a cover we do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEpViVmMYBk&list=PL4kFkA0IA0DJtE4GUgJkJ3h2gofT9Q1uO That Scott Walker + Sunn O))) record is pretty terrible to put it kindly. You were right Vondur. First time I'm disappointed in something Sunn O))) does. The vocals are completely out of place and the droning isn't particularly impressive. There are some good moments here and there but... nah.
Bring Attila Csihar back pls. 3:39
resample 44100 -> 15000 (or pitch shift down 19 semitones). it actually sounds like the original clip has some additional processing (almost like it was recorded from a speaker with a microphone...) I gather there are not a lot metalheads, or fans of heavy music in general, here, but Opeth is something different. I thought their last album (Heritage) was perhaps their weakest, but they were making a huge shift in style; the new album has some brilliant pieces on it. Get intoxicated and then listen to (/view the mirror-screen video for) "Moon Above, Sun Below."
Not a lot of metalheads at all on here.
Been listening to new stuff from Behemoth, Belphegor, Misery Index and Allegeon recently. All good! enjoying it! need to give it a few more listens but liking it better than Heritage I think. Also Tronyn, belated thanks for recommending Opeth several years ago in this thread. I had Ghost Reveries for a while but your recommendation prompted me to get into their other albums.
Lately I've discovered this genre of music that's just chilled, atmospheric guitar playing (err... dark ambient post-metal?); I first got into Nebelung, whose album Palingenesis is sort of like only the quiet parts of old Opeth but no vocals (or hardly any). Now I'm checking out this band Celephais, sounds pretty similar so far. Great stuff to listen to while mapping. Both bands are from (the dark forests of) Germany so apparently there are things going on there much more interesting than the cliche of "German hardcore, crazy, over the top death metal."
hmmm, going back to some old tunes I had on funny circular bits of shiny plastic...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irv2RDyO9RE I'm starting to appreciate black metal and death metal. Like properly. Not that I'm into satanism or anything....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUrVtR4HrAY Hi, folks.
I finally made something inspired by the Q3A soundtrack. https://soundcloud.com/acidic-void/the-machine Hope, you like it. :) and I come back to discover people talking about metal instead of drum 'n bass?!
Anyway, some new stuff I've picked up as of late. Teitanblood - Death A unique idea, in creating the Black Metal aesthetics through the mantle of Death Metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYjkU52Ij8s Nightbringer - Ego Dominus Tuus One of my favorite American Black Metal bands. A band not necessarily focused on heaviness, but more about bludgeoning the listener with cold, haunting riffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9DwEPpkOzE my humble utub chan supporting underground evile stuffs

Then you realise that towards the end of This Love, Phil says 'Noctorno Culto of Darkthrone' - I always wondered what he said there.... He even had his own crappy band, Viking Crown, which released a few forgettable albums.
He also participated in a collaboration with Fenriz and Satyr, called Eibon, of which only one track was released. There was another Black Metal project, Southern Isolation, which I admit to knowing nothing about. I've only heard rumors, nothing substantiated, but Anselmo's interest in Black Metal was very sudden, but he was all in. It's rumored that he ordered 2000 black metal albums from a distributor in Australia, and immersed himself in them completely for a few months. Who knows for sure though. One that fits a lot more closely into the 'Panzer Division Marduk' aesthetic.
https://soundcloud.com/centurymedia/marduk-rope-of-regret Playing tunes from old school games that have been recorded with proper Roland soundcards... Trust me, way better than that shite normal

the roland sc88 is pretty awesome. Pretty awesome Necros... I do love the Duke soundtrack.
It's kind of weird how I forgot about the good the soundtrack can sound but I do remember now my mates dad was a real audiophile back in the day and he definitely had all these awesome soundcards, was fun playing those games with those amazing tracks. ehh, i grew up with a soundblaster 16: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZeMtcmnBOU, so a lot of the fancier stuff sounds wrong to me. ;)

Seems to be good mapping or coding music. The part with the keyboards on 4.19 is wicked! copy and paste hack job:
https://soundcloud.com/necros0/ne-hl-submix mixed submix0 and 4 together... this is the one guy in the band everyone gets mad at because he doesn't listen when they tell him he's playing too fast
Love that track. I'd also like to hear if there's something similar, would be great background music. Not amazingly like the tristram theme, but it makes me think of this Nick Drake song for some reason:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1AkYgBTc4M Wrong Cops is a weird movie with a kick-ass soundtrack. Eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTwERz2vQkc (not the movie shown). Try it if you like Hotline Miami's music.

Just picked up the new Tribulation. Holy fuck. Awesome awesome awesome.
https://soundcloud.com/centurymedia/tribulation-in-the-dreams-of-the-dead I did a live dj mix on twitch and here is the mixcloud version if you wanted to hear it. I just got a bunch of new acid techno today and wanted to bust it out :)
https://www.mixcloud.com/tdDaz/tddaz-uk-acid-techno-mix-june-2015/ I totally missed that Leftfield released a new album this year!
Two tracks are free to stream: https://soundcloud.com/leftfield/bilocation https://soundcloud.com/leftfield/universal-everything Good lord that brings back memories.
Anyway, Universal Everything sounds great, Bilocation sounds like generic crap. I was cleaning old mp3's from my pc and came across a psytrance mix I did back in 2003. It's super old skool but very bouncy https://www.mixcloud.com/tdDaz/tddaz-psytrance-mix-from-2003/

You're 43rd year was beyond belief and brought joy and excitement to thousands of people! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICH, you deserve all of the rest and relaxation that you can get.

The lead singer of Tool's new band Puscifer is going to be releasing a new album right away; I can't imagine anyone not finding this song "Grand Canyon" amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZJiQSmJ9g It's one of those reflective songs that makes you glad to be alive. the winner of the most Lovecraftian lyrics ever shoehorned into a diamond-cut pop song

Did a new techno mix with some new tunes I grabbed, came out quite well.
https://www.mixcloud.com/tdDaz/tddaz-break-the-system-down-acid-techno-mix-november-2015/ I really like Death(?) Metal where vocals are a mix between grunting and melodic singing and the music is "polished". Eg:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeuhzyJ8efc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSccLMi0CLA Some Dimmu Borgir is a bit like it too (not sure how but it tickles the same music bones for me), eg Puritania, Progenies of the great Apocalypse. Any suggestions for similar stuff? Free music preferred. Cradle of Filth, but not free. Very polished and melodic stuff, especially their later albums. I listened to dimmu borgir because of CoF.

Robert Fripp is a f*king genious and his King Crimson is an inspiration manna:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLa8Ps9dysk The whole King Crimson's "Islands" album is great.
Another all great album is "The Rapture", Siouxsie and The Banshees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cVr-764io I really prefer "Skill in Pills" or "Praise Abort"... the texts are simply awesome...
And for czg: "Ladyboy" suits perfectly :P "Preacher Electric" by Dopelord, from Poland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLyN2EKqbks "I'm the Mountain" by Stoned Jesus, from Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCaInA1NeZE Great to see new bands continuing in the tradition of Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Tool, Isis, etc. Carpenter Brut just put out a new music video for his song "Turbo Killer" and it's so 80s it hurts.

Good music, fireworks, plenty of rainbow color, crowded of happy people, happiness distribution on all songs... really worth the 75 euros ! http://www.aficia.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Sans-titre-12-2.jpg Thanks a lot to Chris Martins and his band for the enjoyable moment :) Inquisition - Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm
Whoa, I love this! Much better than deep throating. I had no idea Metallica was still around. They had a couple of good songs when, 25 years ago? I think saw them live once, as the warm up band for Ozzy, sometime in the mid-late 80s.
Vektor - Terminal Redux, thrash/death/progressive etc.

#1551 Listened to it a few days ago, it's great! There's a strong Kill/Ride vibe to it. If the album is as good as that, I'm sold. ...but their Pandemonium album was fucking immense:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL_U5GSUBpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PZydQuSFI just how bouncy is that Millenium riff??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsvMOPlhg2g
Sounds really good when they grunge it up live... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBS8kpspMNA Well the link I provided is from their 2015 album Pylon. Excellent album featuring the original line-up. There's no bad KJ album really, but I also strongly recommend their 2003 self-titled featuring Dave Grohl on drums and its follow-up, Hosannas from the Basements of Hell. Check these out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ujsROMsAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tusLiKOAaXQ Yeah, Pandemonium was the shit! It was their way of telling all those industrial rock bands who were inspired by them: "look kiddos, you're cute but this is how it's done." About Love Like Blood, I saw them live in Paris during the Pylon tour and they played it, it was cool! The show was very intense, tribal and brutal. Jaz has an outstanding presence, very hypnotic. Any KJ fan should go see them. Why does everything in Doom 4 sound like it was made by autistic 3 year old tourettes? Did Id collectively fart into a mic, slapped some distortion over it and called it a day?
Asian Screamo Band Original

This is... black speedcore? Very very intense live show on the borderline to art performance, could be a bit more intellectual though. Recommended, also this is basically a subset of Vampillia tags: 666bpm black metal japan metal crust hardcore harsh noise sludge
Okay that's worth a try then... Apart from having Youtube bring up a playlist sidebar of twattish bullshit from oh-so-fucking-cool wankends like Anonymous and other such pettily self-important conspiracy-theorist cry-babies. Cunts.
I love this stuff. Dark but chill. They constantly are releasing new material.
https://www.youtube.com/user/cryochamberlabel Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Deviations 1
is great as a Quake1 soundtrack, some new tracks there too Will check that out for sure. Always wanted to hear more Detest after this ace track from a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmqwr3yBl4
That's actually the CryoChamber YT channel so those aren't rips more like marketing for their label. You can buy disks or digital their bandcamp store.
https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/ Al is at it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6XHd06qr-Q fun :D That one is different from the rest of the album - which is excellent http://teamshambler.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/banging.html
Also whoever posted Violent Magic Orchestra, sorry I had to miss them cos they clashed with Producer. Cool, yeah. Though why go straight edge on such an event is beyond me.
Made me feel kind of disappointed I never went to the Fusion festival when it was still fresh... thank you mr.Richard for this band, i've never heard of them before, they are huge and heavy as fuck
is for those people who clearly haven't realised that death is permanent.
Seriously, if you don't need to defile yourself with booze or drugs on at least rare occasions then you can't be trusted... or something. I went to two nights in a row dancing to gabber, industrial hardcore, dnb, and breakcore, cos I love it. I think that's defilement enough??
#1597 - awesome, always looking for gits inspired dnb/neurofunk/whatever else , thanks!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDsKY_MneTE I dont think I have ever not enjoyed a Mastodon album. Even the Hunter. As a person whose also a fan of Pink Floyd it's just more shit for me to love. Creature Lives gives me the chills.
Pink floyd influence ruins good bands. Eg voivod
Maybe hammers of misfortune is a good example of a band who can integrate some of that well without fucking it up https://youtu.be/vREbNy-TNxc nah, you have to check the vigil's name then
Novelists - Muchos Touche
The cadence of the vocal line is somewhat interesting. The vocal production is reminiscent of Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP, so that's neat. The lyrics are standard fare for this genre: tragically man-boyish and comically dysfunctional. Yes, that was exactly what I meant. It's essentially advertising, trying to sell you some product.
that's just metalcore? It's OKish, but always ruined by the girls doing the background singing.
Rather this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FPhpuNrwg Too bad you missed VMO, but it sounds like you had fun! I think they'd be much better in a metal venue as a concert. Noted down some acts from your list, gonna listen.
over vocal/percussions, pls see YT comments link here
tinyurl.com/mtc8p3s one of my absolute favourites. Was obsessed with Soundgarden back in the day and he was a ridiculously talented vocalist and musician. RIP
From reading interviews it really sounded like he had overcome his problems. One of the best vocalists of his generation.
I was at a concert of WU once, in Germany on an old ship.
We stole records from the the DJ (DJ Mathmatics? cause the stage was surrounded by walkways, only seperated by nets. Cappadonna and Method noticed, and laughed their asses off. Didn't keep the records though, they were trashed already by scratching. Left them at the toilet i think. Where i found a bag of Coke, lost by someone. After that i can't remember really. For 3 days... Was a big bag... Yeah, scampie is my fav mapper. btw nutmeg is not a very good recreational drug. it tastes fucking horrible in the amounts you need to eat, and mostly just makes you sick and tired for like a day or so. F---, Thumbsdown, Dislike
